34 days refusing food at the door to Dáil Éireann

category national | crime and justice | news report author Saturday June 24, 2006 12:52author by fnord - (now that we've your attention..,) Report this post to the editors

On the 7th of June, Peter Preston having met no satisfactory explanation for a serious assault on his daughter which caused grevious bodily harm resulting in 25 stitches to her face - undertook to refuse food in protest.
One week later he took up position on Kildare street, the front entrance of the Dail (the Irish parliament). His fast has been sustained since then, & yet no-one really seems to have noticed other than the independent TD Finian Mc Grath.

Maybe a person of middle age with a scarred 19 year old daughter protesting on the street is not so newsworthy.
Maybe the menu at the Unicorn restaurant is more interesting.
Maybe his handwritten statement was difficult to read at first.
Maybe he's asking awkward questions in a manageable way.

background to the case with his statement as may be seen on Kildare Street in the illustrations .-
