Report of Protest at EU Commission Offices

As the EU Services Directive is debated in the European Parliament this afternoon about 20 people from Sinn Féin, the Campaign Against the EU Constitution and Labour Youth took part in a picket of the EU Commission offices on Molesworth Street.

Sinn Féin and Labour Youth banners were present and newsletters on the Services Directive were distributed while the protest was joined by a number of Sinn Féin TDs.

Under the theme of Kiss the Services Directive Goodbye a Valentine's card was handed through the small crack in the door the Gardaí would permit to be opened listing ten reasons why the Directive should be opposed.
