1200 on national Sept 8th march for CDPs

An energetic 1200 people - the figure comes from the Gardai - marched through Dublin on Sept 8th and the campaign continues now at regional and local level to garner support for retaining CDPs.

Speeches on the day were made by Susan O'Neill from St. Munchin's CDP in Limerick and by Cathleen O'Neill of Kilbarrack CDP in Dublin, among others. Both are members of the NCDF.

The protest got decent coverage in the media and on television.

Here's a link to a video of the march by 'Changing Ireland'.

The Community Sector is now building towards a Community-wide march in Dublin on Sept 30th and in regional centres shortly afterwards.
