McBreartys lend support to anti-ASBOs campaign

THE McBrearty family have joined students, civil liberties groups and opposition parties in opposing Justice Minister McDowell’s plans to introduce Anti-Social Behaviour Orders (ASBOs).

The campaign was also backed by singer-songwriter Christy Moore, who yesterday signed a petition begun by Hot Press magazine for the idea to be scrapped.

A protest march will take place in Dublin tomorrow from the Garden of Remembrance at 2.30pm to the Central Bank on Dame Street, where bands will gather for a musical festival.
