THIS CANNOT BE SEEN AS A WARM UP FOR THE BRITTISH QUEENS VISIT
There is a long and proud history of protest at the British embassy in Dublin. In the aftermath of the Bloody Sunday massacre in 1972, enraged citizens burned the embassy building, which was then located on Merrion Square, to the ground.
yeah, a proud history of protest when your "burning stuff to the ground"!
yeah, really proved your point their guys!
well done!
Following consultation with many of its members and supporters éirígí has decided to switch the location of this Saturday’s protest against British Royal visits to Ireland from the British Embassy to Ballybough in Dublin.
The protest will now assemble at the junction of Ballybough Road and Clonliffe Road at 3.30pm on Saturday 23rd of February. The move comes on the back of the announcement that Anne Windsor, daughter of the British queen and commander in chief of a number of units of the British army, is to attend this weekend’s rugby international in Croke Park.
éirígí are inviting republicans, socialists and democrats from across Ireland to join them on Saturday in opposition to the British governments attempts to ‘normalise’ its occupation of the Six Counties.
éirígí apologises for any caused inconvenience by the change of location and hopes that all those who had intended to join the protest at the British embassy will be able to attend at Ballybough instead.

Speculation is mounting that the Brit queen is going to head south of the border when she visits the occupied six during march. Below is an extract from The Belfast Newsletter:
"The Queen is to visit Northern Ireland next month. In a move unprecendented since the beginning of the Troubles, the trip has been revealed by Buckingham Palace almost two months ahead of schedule.
Along with the Duke of Edinburgh, she will be present at the Royal Maundy Service in St Patrick's Church of Ireland Cathedral, Armagh on Thursday March 20.
During the service, Her Majesty will distribute Maundy money.
It is unclear if there will be other engagements on the visit.
Nor is it clear if the Queen will also make a historic trip to the Republic - a move which is much anticipated and which Irish premier Bertie Ahern has said he expects to happen.
The visit was welcomed by First Minister Ian Paisley who said it was "very nice that we are going to have the same ceremony here in Northern Ireland as they have in other parts of the United Kingdom".
Lets give her a good Dublin Republican welcome if she does!!!!
Didnt hear about the protest at Aherns office until it was over!! Will definetely be at this one, as should anybody else that has a problem with the fact that there are 5,000 British soldiers in Ireland - more then they have in Iraq or Afghanistan.
