There was a lot said, a lot not said, but perhaps the words of the town's inspirational mayor in the hours after a peace march last January against violence and drug dealing summed it up - 'Saturday was not the end, Saturday was just the beginning.' Thousands took to the streets of Drogheda to give a clear signal to those dragging its name through the mud and leaving communities in fear, that their days were numbered. To those 'enforcing misery' on the people of the town, Mayor Paul Bell remarked, 'go and go now.' A young man had been killed in the most horrific way and that would change our destiny. 'Today is a special moment and one that changes will be born from,' the mayor added.
