Catalans also demand independence in Dublin / Baile Átha Cliath

Last Tuesday, September 11th, Catalans took to the streets in Barcelona to demand their government begin a process of secession from Spain. In Baile Átha Cliath (Dublin), Ireland, a crowd of 150 Catalans took the historical place of GPO (General Post Office) sited in the centre of O'Connell Street where Irish independence was proclaimed in 1916. The slogans used were both in Irish Gaelic as well as English: Catalonia, the next State in Europe/An Chatalóin, an chéad Stát eile san Eoraip. Catalans from all walks of life gathered beneath one of Ireland's best-recognised places in order to join their fellow citizens into press their home government to go beyond the current unsatisfactory home rule, and to work towards Catalonia's own state.
