The events of the Barry Andrews protest Thursday March 27th

A protest was held at Barry Andrews office in Blackrock on Thursday evening (Barry is one of our delightful members of the Dail who is complicitious on the issue of Shannon and the American militarys use there of for refuelling their warplanes) a croud of approximately 25 gathered outside his office and made it extremely uncomfortable for him to carry out his work. For two and a half hours we made our presence heard and seen. At 8:50 his clinic closed and he appeared from his office to go home with a number of his staff and of course with a Guarda escort. We followed him up and down the town to expose him to the people of Blackrock for the war mongerer that he is. We then sat and blocked his exit from the local car park, the guards theatened us with arrest but we refused to move. Shortly after a branch car arrived to take home! We in Dun laoghaire against the war intend on making the war mongerers life as hard as possible and intend to disrupt and picket every public clinic that he holds until he and his cronies in government get the message.
