Medical card protest?

Does anyone know if there is a protest march on Dail Eireann organised? I have heard there is one of wednesday, but havent heard who its organised by or what time? Cant find any info at all about it. Would be grateful if anyone has any info on this. cheers

Update:

Thanks Laura, I just found out that there is indeed a protest rally and it will be on wednesday from 12.30pm -1.30pm outside Dali Eireann its being organised by the Irish Senior Citizens Parliment. I urge evryone young and old to get out on the streets if they can, Im going to go on my lunch break. For more details check out:

Update 2:

sorry "Dail Eireann"

Update 3:

Fair play Scream, that is exactly what we need, Its about time we as a nation stood up for our rights, I used to always say that the fight in people has died nowadays, hopefully I'll be proved wrong. I am based in Dublin so it easier for me to organise a contingency, my mum (70) Dad (72) {who is a survivor of cancer and will loose his med card if this means tests stays as he has a small cie pension of 45E aswell as his state pension) all of their friends that are able to go, and three local community groups. Spread the word everyone, cheers

    I'll be there along with 14 friends from the local pub. Travelling by Dart from Malahide on free travel passes This will be the first time some of the guys will have ever used the pass. Those of us without a pass are intending to travel free also, as carers.

    Does FF ever get anything right, yesterday every household in the area had a mail drop from a guy called Jimmy Guerin asking us to vote for him in the Local Election 2009. He says he is HONOURED to be selected to stand as a Fianna Fail candidate. He has no chance.

    I'm not sure, but if there is everybody should turn out in large numbers throughout the country.
