Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4 5Great initative from eirigi. Very fitting that their first motion to any council would be on an issue as important as plastic bullets. For those that dont know much about the issue here is a list of the 17 people killed by 'non-lethal' rubber and plastic bullets in the north.
Francis Rowntree, aged 11, shot in the head by the British army

For their sake and the sake of future victims of plastic bullets I hope the councillors back the motion.
Forgive me for being stupid, are plastic bullets the same as baton rounds?
Yes, 'baton round' is the sanitised name for a plastic bullet. A bit like colatoral damage being a code for civilian deaths.
Ah right. Get you now. Like Omagh?
Hard as it is to believe the motion was adopted with full support tonight. Dublin be proud.
