DPP withdraws charges

19 June 2006 12:08: RTÉ news has reported that "Charges against 32 men who took part in a demonstration at St Patrick's Cathedral in Dublin have been withdrawn by direction of the Director of Public Prosecutions."

The report continues: "Two of the men due to appear in court today failed to appear, and the bench warrant for their arrest has been issued by Judge James Scally."

It's not clear from this report whether the two facing arrest will also have charges dropped.
