Hundreds to protest outside Dáil as anger grows

HUNDREDS of protesters are expected to gather outside the Dáil today as public outrage intensifies over the child rape debacle.

Radio phone lines were inundated yesterday as furious callers rang chat shows urging people from all over the country to form a mass demonstration at lunchtime.

The protest has been inspired by Monica Rowe, a Dublin mother-of-one who galvanised the conscience of the nation with her impassioned response to the crisis on RTÉ radio.
