WEEK TWO: THE ROYAL CANAL
with Aideen Farrell

Wed 26th Nov | 7:00pm - 8:30pm

The Royal Canal runs a (fairly) straight route from the River Liffey to the River Shannon. Aideen’s fascination with it and where it has led her does not.

When Dunnes staff refused to handle S African goods they were denounced by politicians from FF/FG, as well as "business leaders". The same groups blocking the OTB today. They were spat on, beaten by Gardaí and followed by Special Branch. It took 3 years to shame the govt. into acting. Reluctantly.

One very quick thing the government could do to fill vacant posts in the health care sector is to STOP GIVING PEOPLE A STAMP 3 INSTEAD OF STAMP 4. It's absurd at a time of full employment that we are giving people the right to live here but not work

Have a look at Micheál Martin scrambling.

He doesn't like his gross hypocrisy called out.

He wants to bring in dirty fracked gas.

Speaking out of one side of his mouth at #COP30, and back to usual when he's home.

The value of reading history is you know that in 1860 there were abolitionists who were so demoralized that they thought chattel slavery would be permanent. 5 years later those still alive had lived to see its end.

i wear roundy glasses. i was standing outside a pub in the middle of the day & three drunk women came out dressed up to the nines. one of them fell flat on her arse. i awkwardly shuffled, indecisive about whether to intervene. her friend seeing this shouted "even harry potter wouldn't help you up!!"
I am calling upon the people of Ireland to immediately begin construction of a thread on this site about how you or someone you know was roasted for a fashion choice. We need it.

All roasts must have come from Irish people *only*. Please respect this important rule, it makes a difference.

An important solidarity event this Saturday in Drogheda.

It's up to us in our own communities to stand together against racism and hate.
It is in the face of the far right and government stirring hatred against vulnerable people in our communities.
We must push back!
