 TODAY: Large Regional Protest for Palestine Across Ireland

Press Release, Ireland-Palestine Solidarity Campaign, Saturday 6th September

TODAY Saturday 6th September will see a series of coordinated regional protests in solidarity with Palestine taking place across Ireland, ahead of the end of the Dáil recess on the 17th of the month. 

Large protests organised by the Ireland-Palestine Solidarity Campaign and other groups will take place in Dublin (1pm), Belfast (12pm), Derry (2pm), Galway (1.45pm), Limerick (1pm), Cork (1pm), Waterford (2pm), Carlow (12.30pm) and Navan (1pm) [full details below] as well as a number of smaller protests in various towns.

Speaking ahead of the protests, IPSC Chairperson Zoe Lawlor said: 

"As the leaders of the nuclear armed genocidal Israeli state openly declare they are opening the 'gates of hell' in Gaza, we are calling on people to hit the streets and join their nearest regional protest for Gaza. We called these protests as Dáil gets ready to reconvene to let the government know that we haven’t gone away: we are still demanding SANCTIONS NOW to help end the Gaza genocide and to support freedom, justice and equality for the Palestinian people!".
