For What Died The Sons of Róisín by Luke Kelly

Darragh Byrne writes:

Save Kilkenny protestors this summer were used as practice by Gardai for Water Charge Protests. A complete over reaction whereby twice daily at 9 and 3 o’clock sometimes as many as 50 police helped escort materials to build an unwanted bridge in Kilkenny. Sometimes as little as only a dozen or so protestors were present to face down this onslaught- most of them women – many elderly. The local authority were present when gardai removed protestors from the site in September. Fund raising still continues to help Legal Actions at the moment in the High Court.
