NOVARTIS & ASTRAZENECA DEMOS IN DUBLIN

On Friday the 25th, 1pm, 5 activists met up outside Novartis' City Centre Office in Dublin with our banner, posters and a megaphone. Shortly after we started the demo a lady passing by got herself a poster and so we were 6. Lunch time, as it was, alot of people were around and came up to us asking about HLS and we explained the relationship between Novartis and HLS. The house where Novartis has its office locked their doors and the receptionist had to run her legs off opening for everyone coming back from lunch.

Standing right outside the main entrance no one could ignore us. The Gardai showed up for a short visit but left again.

After an hour or so we headed on to an even more central spot, the Astra Zeneca office located right next to Trinity University and Grafton Street. This time a Garda was waiting for us but didn't make any trouble. Being one of the busiest areas in Dublin, crawling with students, tourists, office workers and commuters we handed out loads of leaflets and got alot of attention. We stayed here for about hour and a half, and left with a promise to return soon. See you next week!!!
