Man to go on hunger strike over stalled Vietnam adoption

A FATHER waiting to adopt a child from Vietnam is to go on hunger strike outside Áras an Úachtaráin tomorrow, in protest at the Government’s delay in agreeing a bilateral agreement with the country.

David Broderick is planning to go on a 24-hour hunger strike this weekend in protest at what he claims is Government inaction on agreeing a bilateral agreement with Vietnam.

Mr Broderick intends to carry out a series of rolling hunger strikes until the Government re-enters negotiations with Vietnam over a new agreement.
