Is there anyone who can recount what happened when one of the people in the lock-down
outside the Dail was knocked unconscious?

I heard that they were taken off in an ambulance and only regained conscious in the early
evening yesterday.

A few cracked skulls there would hardly do any damage, shure there's nothing inside most of them ....

If the person (or his legal team) who was involved would like to see Video of the "Attack" please contact Indymedia mailing lists...

The video appears to show a Garda Pulling the man from behind as he sat motionless on the ground in a NONE VIOLENT DIRECT ACTION

The man who was knovked unconscious was not actually knocked unconscious he passed out and went inot kind of a meditative state called cataconic? i went to the hospital with him and he came around within the hour. I ended up driving him to his parents lace in Nenagh. He just got totally freaked out when the cops moved in. He is a practicing Buddhist living and helping running Jampa Ling Budhist centre in Co. Cavan and probably one of the calmest passivist people I have ever met. By the way lookin good in the Times Leah!! Up our side to ne and all. It was a great, mad, sad and exhausitng day at Dáil Eireann. I'm so glad they had to run away like rats. if we had not all been there they would have walked out like Brazen feckers.
