The march finished in Daunt Square where it was addressed by an Sandra Condon, an activist with Householders Against Service Charges (HASC) who was jailed in 2001 for opposing Cork City Councils' policies.

How far had Saddam’s WMD programs progressed prior to the United States toppling his government in 2003?
