Protest in New York

New York Irish Northern Aid organised a picket outside the British Consulate on Thursday 10 October to protest the RUC/PSNI raids on Sinn Féin's Stormont Offices and the impending return to direct rule. Among the other groups joining Irish Northern Aid were members of the Irish American Unity Conference, the Brehon Law Society, the Ancient Order of Hibernians, and Clan na Gael.

Frank Durkan, the prominent New York attorney and a leader with Americans for a New Irish Agenda, addressed the crowd.

Several New York and New Jersey Congressional representatives sent messages of support, which were read to the gathering.
