Aviation Authority Office Occupation

The 6/7 who gained access to the building are displaying photos of Iraqi children while sitting down praying, there is a small group of suppporters outside, including one man with a loud speaker who is (no doubt) explaining to passers-by what's goin on!
Protesters inside the building are expected to leave shortly.

Ireland unfree shall never be at rest.

Fair play to all involved - mighty stuff!

Seven people occupied the Aviation Authority Office. No arrests were made. The Catholic Worker five are out of court now. No court date was set and they have yet to be furnished with discovery evidence.

'I am sure the Iraqi people will be overwhelmed when this news breaks. I hope CNN do'nt over expose the story.'

Al Jazeera did massively more coverage of the first Mary Kelly trial than any Irish Media.

The Irish media wont talk much to her or the Catholic Work 5 because of 'Sub Judice'

Sub Judice = Crack Down on Free Speech

'1.2.4 The media have to be careful also that they do not report or comment in such a way as to interfere with a person’s right to have a fair trial. For example, Gerry Ryan and RTÉ were fined £200 and £500 respectively in 1990 because of a live radio interview with an alleged rape victim, broadcast before the accused person’s trial had been held. It was argued successfully that the radio interview could prejudice the accused’s right to a fair trial, primarily by influencing members of the jury. The courts are particularly concerned where there is a jury involved that media reports could influence them to the detriment of the accused. This is especially so when the trial is pending within a short space of time, a matter of weeks or months.'
