Protestors gather in city demanding release of Galway anti-war campaigner
Galway Bay fm newsroom - Up to 50 protestors have gathered in the city this lunchtime calling for the release of Galway anti-war campaigner Margaretta D'Arcy.
The 79 year was arrested at her home in Woodquay in the city on Wednesday and taken to Limerick Prison.
A three month suspended sentence handed down at Ennis Court in December was activated after she refused to sign a bond to uphold the law and keep away from unauthorised zones at Shannon Airport.
Gardai are monitoring the demonstration which is taking place outside the constituency office of Galway West Labour TD Derek Nolan at Bothar na Long, New Docks.
Protests will also take place in Dublin and Limerick today.
Margaretta D'Arcy's son Finn Arden is among those taking part in the city protest.
