A meeting to protests at the alleged ill treatment of a member of the Dublin anti drugs campaign by gardai passed off peacefully last night.

Between 400 to 500 people held a vigil outside Fitzgibbon Street station in support of Mr Jimmy Mulhall who had been detained last Tuesday by gardai. There was criticism of the gardai at a meeting held earlier in the Catholic church in Sean McDermott Street. Speakers said the gardai were hostile to anti drugs campaigners but did not deal with pushers.
