Press Release

The following people have confirmed they will speak at The

Women's 'Symphony' of Protest at the Dail on Wednesday 9th April at 7.30pm ; Patricia Mc Kenna MEP, Caoimhe Butterly, Mairin Johnson veteran feminist. LizMcManus TD

We are asking everyone, particularly women, to bring pots and spoons/ lids and to make our opposition to the war in Iraq heard by our government. The pots are to symbolize the effects of sanctions – empty food pots resulting from sanctions and war and the noise will symbolize the horror and noise of bombing as Iraqi women struggle to look after their families.

In other cities around the world protesters have banged out their opposition to this war. We know that every night in Barcelona protesters create a symphony of protest by banging pots for twenty minutes from 10pm. We have heard this is truly impressive.

We are asking people to come to the Dail on Wednesday and let our Government know that we want them to stop their support for this barbaric war.

All Welcome. Speakers, songs and plenty of sound.
