    Any idea what the hunger strike protest guy in Drumcondra is giving out about? Seen him that last few mornings, but moving too quick on the bike to read the signs. There was a load of sandals tied to the railings this morning. Looked creepy.

    Last night, I passed him and read something about prosecuting those involved in the church abuse cases

    Very cool looking, with all the little plimsolls tied in rows like that!

    Continuing our relentless persuence of these perpetrators of abuse, a hunger strike will be placed at the gates of those responsible for the dehumanisation and abuse of children in Ireland.

    Maybe he is dyslexic and sick of scandles.

    From AH, the rest of the country just aren't that interested in local Dublin affairs.

    Saw a few people there yesterday. Fair play is all I can say.

    Cake, and grief counseling, will be available at the conclusion of the test

    Outside the (I think) Archbishops house, on the left as you're heading towards the city centre. Map

    That wasn't stated in the OP. It was a question about what a guy was doing in Drumcondra.

    Maybe he set up a facebook page on it? I saw him with a laptop earlier.

    I spoke with him briefly a few weeks ago. I wonder if he died or just gave up.
