McDowell meeting will halt hunger strike, vows man

A DUBLINER on hunger strike in a tent outside the Dáil yesterday vowed to call off his 53-day protest if the Justice Minister meets him.

Peter Preston, 52, from Donnycarney, alleges a cover-up over a serious assault on his daughter, Danielle, in a pub in 1999.

The 19-year-old secretary suffered 25 stitches to her left cheek after she was struck in the face with a glass by another female.
