400 march against drugs

About 400 people took part in an anti-drugs march through Dublin last night

About 400 people took part in an anti-drugs march through Dublin last night. The marchers gathered at Lourdes Church in Sean MacDermott Street for a performance by Christy Moore, who sang a new song paying tribute to the murdered journalist Veronica Guerin. They then marched through Temple Bar and staged a protest at O'Connell Bridge. The march continued to Liberty House and St Mary's Mansions in the north inner city.

Earlier anti-drug protesters had put up posters in the north inner city, with names and photographs of four men they accuse of drug dealing.
