Non C'est Non: Sarkozy's Irish visit met with protests

category national | eu | news report author Monday July 21, 2008 23:56author by Paula Geraghtyauthor email mspgeraghy at yahoo dot ie Report this post to the editors

He came, he saw, kissed Cowen and left after a whirlwind 5 hour tour.
The IFA, Caeuc with it's may affiliated organisations and Fisheries groups came out in force today to Merrion Square to help Sarkozy understand the meaning of Non.

For those who weren't there a taste of events.
