galway / miscellaneous / press release Wednesday April 28, 2004 21:34 by shaolin   image 4 images
A cunning trap has been set ahead of Bertie Ahern's visit to National University of Ireland, Galway tomorrow.
Members of Galway Grassroots, Galway Alliance Against War and the Irish centre for Human Rights hope to ensnare the wily Taoiseach, and charge him with war crimes.

A cage baited with large bulging brown envelopes that have euro signs drawn on them has been erected near the Aula Maxima. A Guantanamo Bay style prison uniform has also been prepared, and we are confident that this will be sufficient to restrain Ahern, though we expect him to put up a vicious fight. Electrical cattle prods may also have to be employed to subdue an Taoiseach.

So, God-willing, we'll have the blighter in custody and ready for trial tomorrow afternoon.

PS: Please don't forewarn him or his security of this trap, as then he would surely evade us. read full story / add a comment

Mary Kelly, Nuria Dunne, Tommy D himself, and Nuria's daughter Bushra were out on Shop St again on Saturday last, doing sterling work to spread awareness of Mary's case. Michael D Higgins also dropped by. Support was widespread and donations were plentiful. Fair play to the big T once again for his stalwart efforts, and here's hoping that activists elsewhere will follow his lead. read full story / add a comment
