Mandate Trade Union and Congress Supports Gaza Demonstration
Thursday 03 June 2010, 03pm
Mandate Trade Union and the Irish Congress of Trade Unions is supporting a mass demonstration on Saturday June 5, which has been called by the Irish Palestine Solidarity Campaign to protest at the killing of members of the humanitarian flotilla by the Israeli Defence Forces and Israel's illegal detention of activists and media workers.
The demonstration will assemble at Parnell Square at 2pm on Saturday and march to the Department of Foreign Affairs on Stephen's Green, Dublin. Speakers will include Irish participants in the flotilla who have returned to Ireland in recent days, trade union leaders, politicians who were prevented from travelling on the flotilla and representatives of NGOs.
Congress is calling on all affiliate unions to support Saturday's demonstration.
