Serious security breach. If that was a deadly powder....

very interesting, and it would be so easy for that to have been anthrax or something similar.

If it was, and by the looks of the few pictures I've seen of the incident, alot of people could have been infected.

I imagine this was an anti-war protester or something similar
</edit>, reports say fathers 4 Justice are responsible

They were making the point on the BBC news that once all the MP's cleared out they all split and moved outside etc etc. When in reality, they should have stayed in one location. After all, how were they to know it wasn't some chemical or poison

I wonder will this prompt other governments to look at their security especially in the govt chambers.

Never been to Dail Eireann, wonder what it's like there

Hey, did ya notice I posted 2 sources of info for the story.

Vinnyfitz will be proud of me!

yeah, I saw a politician make this point, and it is very valid, perhaps they should bring in some kind of emergency plan for such an event as well as review the general security.

I remember visiting the House of Commons [public gallery]with a few friends in the early seventies. I was genuinely surprised at just how small cramped and uncomfortable it looked.

I was also surprised that no one gave us so much as a second look.
