Please support the campaign to send the Dunnes Storesstrikers to Nelson Mandela's funeral. Thosewho stood up against apartheid and stood upagainst Fine Gael and Fianna Fail support for the South African racist regime represent all decent Irish people, not TDs from these parties.

We, the people demand ourtaxreceipts be used to reward the selfless strikers, not for allowance grabbing government ministers and not to pay off debt that is not our debt.

Ironically TD's aren't particularly representative of the Irish people, the strikers would demostrate a more sincere reflection of the Irish peoples sense of grief.

Ireland's government was happy enough to support apartheid, these 10 workers were outside dunnes in Henry st for nearly 2 year and were even acknowledged by madiba, our TDs wouldn't know what dedication and belief means

I want those "ten young women and one young man" to represent me at Mandela's funeral.

Also a few Niall Mellon builders should join the Dunne Store workers to represent Irish people's solidarity with Madiba and the hopes he had for his country. Conventional representation could never truly show the 'love'
