The Green Party
has welcomed the peaceful conclusion of the hunger strike on the
part of the Afghani men who have been protesting in St Patrick's
Cathedral, Dublin since last Sunday.
Green Party Justice spokesperson Ciarán Cuffe TD said:
"I would like to compliment the Church of Ireland representatives
and members of An Garda Síochána who worked with the men throughout
their hunger strike. I would also like to extend my appreciation to
Phil Flynn who gave his time to ensure that this difficult situation
was brought to a peaceful resolution."
