"You?ll never be wasting our time," reads the Prevent poster. So why did the anti-extremism programme fail to stop the Southport killer, who had been referred to it three times? He's not the only one, says Charlotte Gill.

Students Occupy Council Offices

category national | rights, freedoms and repression | news report author Thursday January 26, 2006 18:19author by Jim Report this post to the editors

A group of students occupied the offices of Dun Laoghaire Rathdown Council today calling for grants to be paid on time. They were also calling for an increase in the income thresholds so that more students can avail of grants.

The council security who were initially irate calmed down after calling the Gardai who were in no mood to take on the students. The activists have been promised a meeting with senior council officials next week.
