In what participants are terming a victory, all 28 of the occupiers arrested this morning at the Thomas Cook office in Grafton Street, Dublin, Ireland have been released with a minimal punishment and Thomas Cook management are returning to the negotiating table.

Of the over 44 people occupying the office last night, 28 refused to leave and were arrested between 4am and 5am this morning in a pre-dawn raid by the Garda Síochána reported to have involved at least 80 officers. "It was quite scary" when the police broke through the office's glass door, noted occupier <name>Caroline Cullen</name>, speaking to Wikinews. "We haven't had any notice", she recalls telling the officers. Occupiers had expected the police to arrive later at 11am.

<name>Cullen</name> reports that of the 28 arrested, 27 went immediately to jail where they spent about nine hours; the 28th, <name>Avril Boyne</name>, was nine months pregnant and entered labour as the police arrived. She was taken to hospital and delivered a healthy baby girl, <name>Chelsea</name>, just after 11am.
