Sinn Féin activists and T.D's demonstrate at the Fianna Fáil 'Yes to Lisbon' launch.
Yesterday, 2 September, a number of Sinn Féin activists and T.D's demonstrated outside the Fianna Fáil 'Yes to Lisbon' campaign launch. Brian Cowen and co. walked from Leinster House to the event, held in the Royal College of Surgeons, while being followed by two Sinn Féin protesters holding banners calling for a No to the referendum, held in October this year. Upon reaching their destination they were greeted by more campaigners, who made it clear that, despite Fianna Fáil's insistance, there have been no changes to the Treaty. The protesters stood beside a small group of Yes to Lisbon supporters, ruining Fianna Fáil's photo opportunity, making the demonstration a complete success.
