Yesterday more than 300 students at St Aidan's in Whitehall held a walkout against the war. The walkout was organised by Youth Against War.

The strike lasted for more than two hours. Journalists from a number of newspapers looked on as the school students held a lively and energetic protest. Bertie Ahern was unavailable for comment.

The next school walkouts called by Youth Against War in the South will take place on Friday. North and South, YAW is building for massive strikes on Day X, the day on which war begins.
