Get Your Delegates To Protest At Minster's Support For Bombing Baghdad

The Minister for Education, Noel Dempsey TD, will be addressing USI congress on Thursday. If the SU's really represent students they will let our feelings on the war be known!

Noel Dempsey should get the kinda reception that Cabinet Colleague John O'Donohoe got yesterday.

USI Congress should be made difficult fo the minister. All year he has been threatening fees. Just this week he votes for US planes in Shannon.

The USI leadership should publicly say that Noel Dempsey is not welcome to the Congress. If he does come delegates should make the feelings of students known!

The USI congress is taking place in the GlenEagle Hotel in Killarney, the Minister will be giving a lunchtime address on Thursday.

This great chance for Students and Kerry to show the minister their anger shouldn't be missed!

Hunter is right, the USI will probably do nothing. But the thing is that delegates to the Congress should have a go at Minister Dempsey.

A tin of red paint wouldn't go amiss!!
