Last night Independent TDs put down a motion, supported by the Greens and Sinn Fein, one element of which was to condemn the imprisonment of Joe Higgins and Clare Daly. (Regrettably, as Sinn Fein pointed out it made no mention of other protestors.

The responses from PD Ministers Harney and O'Malley are fascinating, an all out attack on the left, Higgins, the SP, even the shinners. The UCD protests even get a mention from harney.

This has already been covered in the mainstream media, so I will be brief. More than fifty people took part in the hour-long picket. Copies of over 5,000 signitures were handed in to Mary Harney's office and also to Bertie Ahern's office. These signatures were collected during the 24-hour fast held outside the GPO by six of the workers from the North Inner City. The protest was also attended by Job Initiative workers from other affected areas.

Pictures:

I'm also including a photo of a picket placed on the FÁS offices in Baggot Street on 30th September. On that occasion 16 Job Initiative workers from the North Inner City first picketed FÁS, then picketed BOTH sides of Leinster House. A group of JI workers from the Liberties area had also picketed Leinster House earlier that day. ... read full story / add a comment
