400 people marched in Limerick today starting at 2pm from Penneys, up O'Connell St, down Henry St. to a rally at Arthurs Quay Park before returning to O'Connell St. where a twenty minute sit down protest took place.

regime change begins at home"

A lot of the locals looked confused.

Well Done to all involved in Limerick protest especially Conor, Tim, Lawrence, Tracey, Katherine, Jenny, Paddy, Manus....apologies if any gaps left...too many to name..God Bless your committment.
In peaceful love and solidarity,
Damien
Thanks to all involved. A great turn out for Limerick.
Good stuff out of everyone. I´d be there in my millions if I could. Over here, Peru, a country against the war, the papers are telling it like it is. A campaign of terror by the big ol bastards. I assume the same can´t be said of the press coverage at home in Ireland.
