Pro-Palestine protesters target Riverdance

RIVERDANCE is being targeted by pro-Palestine campaigners who are opposed to the dance company’s plans to tour Israel later this summer.

A demonstration is planned outside the Gaiety Theatre in Dublin for the opening night of the show’s month-long return to the capital, beginning on June 28.

The protest is being organised by the Ireland Palestine Solidarity Campaign in support of the second Freedom Flotilla which will begin its journey to Gaza that day with aid supplies in an attempt to break the Israeli blockade of the port.
