Public Meeting - The Way Forward

Public meeting
Saturday 15th September
1pm
Lourdes Youth and Community Parish Hall
Sean McDermott Street
Dublin 1

Once again the campaign for Justice for Terence Wheelock are calling on the community to join them at a public meeting to be held on Saturday 15th September at Lourdes Youth and Community Parish Hall, Sean McDermott Street at 1pm.

Representing the Wheelock family will be Larry Wheelock. Larry, who has been campaigning for a full independent inquiry will cover the following issues:
* The travesty that was the inquest into Terence's death. For the Wheelock family the inquest has been overly influenced by the Gardai while no independent witness/expert gave direct evidence.
* The campaign has been recognised by the State and given legitimacy with the instigation of the Garda Ombudsman's inquiry into Terence's death.
* Larry Wheelock will be discussing the type of inquiry offered his family by the Ombudsman

Discussion at the meeting will centre on
* What you can do for the campaign
*How the community can get involved

The meeting will also be addressed by Derry journalist and socialist Eamonn McCann.

Please come to the meeting to show your solidarity with the Wheelock family and to contribute to building the campaign which will not stop until a full independent inquiry is conceded by the State.

The meeting on Saturday was hugely successful and, as was pointed out by several speakers, the campaign's strength is the determination of the Wheelock family and the local community not to be browbeaten.
The meeting resolved to spread the campaign to other areas of Dublin and beyond in order to keep up the public pressure for a full independent public inquiry. We need the support of everyone who believes in truth and justice for this to happen. Over the coming months there will be Justice for Terence Wheelock meetings held all over Dublin and throughout Ireland. If you can help to organise a meeting in your area, please contact Larry Wheelock on 087 3219096 or Gregor Kerr on 086 1501151
