GALWAY PEACE GROUP CALLS FOR BLAIR DUBLIN BOOK SIGNING TO BE SCRAPPED

Date Published: 26-Aug-2010

Eason’s bookstore by The Galway Alliance Against War is being urged to scrap plans for a book-signing by Tony Blair.

The Alliance is branding the former British prime minister as ‘repulsive’ and claims he’s responsible for the deaths of 1.3 million Iraqi’s, because he lied in order to launch the war.

The call comes ahead of a demonstration to be held this afternoon at Easons in Galway city in an effort to prevent a planned book-signing at the main branch in Dublin next month from going ahead.

Group spokesperson Niall Farrell says it would be outrageous – and would warrant a drastic response.
