A group of TDs representing progressive and left wing parties in Leinster House will visit Mountjoy Prison tomorrow and meet imprisoned Bin Tax activists Joe Higgins and Claire Daly.

The visit has been organied by Independent TD Finian McGrath following a suggestion from Sinn Féin TD Seán Crowe.

At time of writing as well as Deputies McGrath and Crowe, Labour's Tommy Broughan, the Green party's John Gormley and Independent TD Tony Gregory have all indicated they will take part in the visit.

The TDs have issued an open invitation to other members of Leinster House to join in the visit and demonstrate solidarity with Joe and Claire and condemn the outrageously harsh prison sentence imposed on them.
