Wed.-Thurs. (March 19th/20th) from 6.30 p.m.
24 Hour Vigil and Fast outside Dail Eireann: Wed.(March 19th) @6.30 p.m.
War is about to be waged totally. All are invited to join a 24 Hour vigil outside Dail Eireann, Kildare Street, commencing Wednesday evening @ 6.30 p.m.
The Dail is expected to reconvene @ 10.30 a.m. on Thursday morning for an emergency 6 hour debate to decide whether US warplanes will be allowed to continue using Shannon's facilities and Irish airspace, etc. A vote is expected @ 4.30 p.m.
The fast shall be held in the spirit of non-violence and in solidarity with the ordinary people of Iraq, people in jail throughout the world for non-violent resistance {especially Karen and Nuin in Limerick prison}, and Dublin man Michael Bermingham currently in Baghdad with 'Voices in the Wilderness' (www.vitw.ie).
Those who are willing to stay overnight/throughout the 24 hours are advised to bring warm clothing, raingear, and a sleeping bag, etc. (Better to be looking at them rather than for them). Be innovative.... Hope to see you there;-)))
In peaceful solidarity,
Damien Moran
