Peace campaign gathers pace

PEACE campaigners are planning a series of vigils and demonstrations to coincide with attacks on Iraq if war goes ahead.

The Irish Anti-War Movement is to stage nightly gatherings in town centres on every day bombing is carried out, 10-minute work stoppages at noon the next day and mass rallies in the cities each Saturday following an attack.

Their call to the public to join them in continued opposition to war came after the weekend peace rally in Dublin which had a turn-out far exceeding the organisers’ expectations of a 20,000-strong crowd.
