éirígí will hold an anti-plastic bullets protest outside of City Hall in Dublin at 6pm on Monday 7th September. The protest will coincide with the monthly meeting of Dubin City Council which will vote on a motion calling for the banning of plastic bullets in the Six Counties.

The motion, was drafted in response to the firing of plastic bullets by the PSNI in the Short Strand area of east Belfast on Monday past and in the Ardoyne area of north Belfast on July 13.

The motion reads as follows:

“This council notes with deep concern the firing of plastic bullets by the PSNI in Belfast on July 13 and August 31 2009. These lethal weapons have already killed seventeen Irish citizens and injured and maimed countless others. This council calls for the immediate banning of the use of plastic bullets under any circumstances in the Six Counties before they cause further injury or death.”
