Basque visit to Dublin

category national | miscellaneous | news report author Tuesday August 06, 2002 16:44author by Tribunell

The Sunday Tribune reported that a pro-Basque Country demonstration ended with three arrests and an alleged attack on an Irish-owned Spanish restaurant in Temple Bar. Does anyone have any further information on these events?

1. The incident started with the taking down of a spanish flag and some type of neon display.

2. There were a number of arrests

3. Heard an eyewitness of very heavy handed gardai action to disperse the protest on quays near virgin megastore.

4. It was widely reported in the media over the bank holiday. They were described as 'thrashing' the restaurant but the detail as far as I can remember added up to number 1. above

This is from memory so if you are interested keep checking for further info
