The Taoiseach, Brian Cowen, is set to face protests by health campaigners when he visits Limerick today to officially open the city's new Thomond Park rugby ground.

The Campaign for a Real Public Health Service is planning the demonstration this evening to protest against the Government's decision to scrap the planned cervical cancer vaccing for young girls.

It says the decision could sentence hundreds of young women to a death from a preventable illness.

Mr Cowen is due to formally open Thomond Park this evening ahead of the much-anticipated clash between Munster and the All Blacks.
