Protestors against head shops to picket outside Dáil

COMMUNITY protests against head shops will step up a gear this week when a picket is held outside the Dáil on Wednesday.

The demonstration is set to attract protest groups from around the country and Dublin as reports of adverse reactions to products sold in head shops mount.

It follows a local picket in Clontarf, north Dublin, on Saturday, against the opening of a new head store in the affluent suburb.
