Backing for Colombia Three
The Dublin Trade Council, at its meeting on Tuesday night, unanimously backed a motion calling for the return of the Colombia Three, Martin McAuley, Jim Monaghan and Niall Connolly, currently being held in the South American state.
On Sunday, a packed Olympia Theatre in Dublin enjoyed a magnificent night when Irish folk and trad stars turned out in force to support the campaign for the men's return. Artists including Christy Moore, Donal Lunny, Sharon Shannon, Liam Ó Maonlai and Kila made it a truly memorable night.
According to a family member the event could have been sold out three times over, a positive sign for what increasingly looks like being a lengthy campaign.
