A symbolic citizen’s arrest warrant for US President George W Bush was drawn up by the Green Party today ahead of his impending visit.

Party leader Trevor Sargent said the US military and current administration were responsible for violating international law, as he made a final call on people to come out and protest.

Mr Sargent said: “I do think it is probably more important that Irish Americans in America who have a vote would make the point based on or reflecting the opinion that is now being expressed in Ireland.

“So whether directly this message gets to George Bush or whether it gets to Irish Americans. It is important to demonstrate so George Bush gets the feeling one way or another.”

Protests are taking place at 7pm tonight in Dublin, Galway, Tralee, Waterford, Sligo and Shannon.
