The meeting piont for this demo is 1pm at the top of Grafton Street.
Whilst this demos has been called in solidarity with the popular up rising in Greece, in the context of cops killing an 15 yeare old boy, by shooting him at piont blank range in the chest, it should be remembers that many families in Ireland have had to deal with deaths of their children is less than clear circumstances
