For the past few weeks we've been having regular demonstrations outside Novartis in Dublin (Regus House, Harcourt Road, Dublin 2).

Upon our arrival at Novartis, the doors of the building are locked immediately, and staff stand staring at us, for the duration of the protests.

We've had a lot of support from passers-by, with a few people even interested in joining the campaign to close HLS.

On one occassion, Novartis employees threw water at us from their windows - as if that would deter us! An incident which only further proves the mindset of these people!

The Gardai have always only arrived as we are finishing, which means Novartis has felt the full blast of our megaphones time and time again - without interuption.

We'll be making weekly visits to Novartis for at least the next month, so if you are in Dublin, do come and join us!

Keep up the fight,

"Upon our arrival at Novartis, the doors of the building are locked immediately, and staff stand staring at us, for the duration of the protests."

The Regus building is host to over 20 companies, the staff staring at you were Regus reception and staff, not Novartis.

"On one occassion, Novartis employees threw water at us from their windows"

I can confirm that Novartis doesn't have offices on that side of the building (one of the companies I work for has offices there), so your claim that they threw water at you is a lie. More likely is that one of the other companies threw water at you because they were fed up with you disrupting their work.
