To questions about being trapped inside tomorrow, Mac Cionnaith responded that the community would not be starved or bribed into submission. Community groups from other parts of the six counties have committed to bring food and supplies to give needed relief to the residents and the neighbourhood. Everyone was relieved to hear this, most knowing that their access to work and the town centre will most likely be completely restricted in the coming days. The people inside the ring of steel are remaining calm despite their fears. The community meeting bolstered spirits and the strong unity within the area.
Helicopters continue to hover low over the community centre and nationalist housing estates.
