Hello Everyone,

Thank you for supporting the statement in support of Sally Rooney's stance against the arrest of protesters and the criminalisation of peaceful protest in the UK. As of today (10th October) we have collected 282 signatures. We have now sent letters to the Press and we've also written to TDs in Ireland and to Ministers and Secretaries of Justice and Arts/Culture in Northern Ireland, England, Wales and Scotland about the statement.

We hope that this will have some impact. Thank you again for your support.

With our very best wishes,

June Considine
