Ahern accused of ignoring marchers

BERTIE AHERN has been accused of ignoring 100,000 anti-war marchers after it emerged that organisers of the demonstration have received no reply from the Taoiseach’s office despite requesting a meeting days after the Dublin event.

The coordinator of the NGO Peace Alliance, one of the three groups that organised the march two weeks ago, repeated the request for a immediate meeting with Mr Ahern.

"We believe we have a mandate from the people," said Brendan Butler.
