De Rossa delivers peace message

Officials at the US Embassy in Dublin have been called on by the President of the Labour Party to pass on the message that the Irish people are vehemently against a war on Iraq.

Prionsias de Rossa, who participated in the anti-war rally in Dublin this afternoon, said the UN weapons inspectors should be given time to carry out their work, as has been requested.

Tens of thousands of protesters made known their feelings on a war with Iraq at rallies at 14 different locations nationwide.
