Members of Crumlin Labour, Labour Youth and friends, family and supporters of Joanne Delaney protested today outside the Ashleaf Dunnes Stores in Crumlin. There was an excellent response from passers as well as extensive coverage from the corporate media including TV3 news and the major (non RTE) radio stations including INN and Newstalk.

The protest lasted for an hour and was supported by local Labour Councillor Eric Byrne, Labour T.D. Mary Upton and Labour Leader Pat Rabbitte in addition to a large number of local residents and supporters of Joanne Delaney. There was no hassle at all with the shopping centre security and the protest moved indoors at a later stage to protest directly outside the Dunnes shop.

There will be solidarity protests every Saturday outside the Ashleaf Dunnes this Saturday from 12 and for the next three saturdays organised by the Joanne Delaney support group. Everyone is welcome.

The Ashleaf is up by the Submarine Bar which has this nice page of directions on the interweb

If you are coming up the Crumlin road with your back to the Canal you take a left at the Star bingo Hall (ex Roller Disco?) and continue straight on that road it gets you there.

Buses 150,19a,18 and 17.

The 150 and 19 a leave from Dame Street (almost opposite the Central Bank) and are nice and regular.
