Last night, Tuesday February 26th, Henry Kissinger's official dinner in UCC was interrupted by the sounds of protesters chanting, singing and naming him a war criminal. Today protesters that included staff, students and peace activists came face to face with Mr Kissinger. Our anger was real and our expression of it was powerfully effective. If the business people of Cork wish to celebrate Kissinger, they realise now that UCC is not the forum. Congratulations to all who were there.
