2 arrests and half a dozen bomb scares already The buses that are going are leaving from Culturlann on the Falls, City Hall and the University at 16.30. Two independant anti-war activists were arrested and questioned last night after an alleged graffiti action on the US Consulate. There have been a number of security alerts and the motorways leading into Belfast are sealed off- with police stopping vehicles and so on. Traffic s backed up throughout the city. There is a heavy police prescence at bus and rail stations. Hillsborough has been declared a "sterile area" and the town itself is completely closed off. Cyclists left Queen's University at 14.30 and attempts to get a lot of people out on minibuses have failed- they have all been booked up by "security companies". The buses that are going are leaving from Culturlann on the Falls, City Hall and the University at 16.30. First come first served. Some cars will be leaving from giros.

Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7RTE news reported that Bush will be arriving today at RAF Fairford.
I presume he'll be leaving from there as well.
Any plans to protest there tomorrow ?
I heard a report that he would be leaving Belfast on Tuesday by mid - afternoon. ?.
Has there been any more specific details of the War Summit timetable ?
I understand that BushBlairAhern will be in Belfast tomorrow meeting pro-Friday parties.
Where ? From what time ? How long will the meeting last ? How far from the meeting is RAF Fairford ?
I think they´re meeting at 6pm in Hillsborough but check other links to be sure.
Ooops, according to online.ie Bush is expected to land at Aldergrove military airport.
Protesters are making it into Hillsborough
Some meeting at Quaker House, Park Street (very near castle)
After a jolly good pro war propaganda show Joe finished up by having on a reporter from Hillsboro who told people to "go home and enjoy the rest of their half-day" because they would not get within ten miles of Hillsboro.
Go Protestors! Prove them wrong, again!
30 - 40 protesters from the outside, plus locals in (really noisy) protest in centre of Hillsborough.
Some (15) trapped behind second police line.
Two helicopters en route, one Chinook overhead at Hillsborough.
Police blocking off the crossroads at the centre, cyclists still on the way.
We aren't getting any news of these protests on the American Media. Make some more noise!
