THE REAL MAYDAY STREET PARTY IS STILL ON
The Government may have cancelled its 'Beautiful Night' concert in O'Connell Street, but the real Mayday weekend street party is going ahead.
Reclaim The Streets is throwing a 'No Borders' street party on Bank Holiday Monday, May 3rd, to which all are welcome.
Dublin Grassroots &endash; a collective that includes Reclaim The Streets &endash; is calling on people to come along and have fun at this true party of the people.
Mick Dooley of Dublin Grassroots, one of the main groups organising protests against Dublin's EU summit, said: "The only street party worth joining in town will now be the ONLY street party in town. And unlike the state's cancelled street party, everyone from around the world is welcome to come to Dublin for this, not just those that satisfy the demands of Fortress Europe. Expect music, dancing and face painting, a day for all to come and enjoy a vision of the Europe that we really want."
"Closing off O'Connell Street for a street party on Mayday is a Reclaim The Streets concept, which the government hijacked and tried to use as part of its cynical PR exercise."
"The Government's so-called Day of Welcomes is a sham. The European Union is more about keeping people out than welcoming people in."
PHOTOCALL &endash; GOOD FRIDAY
A foretaste of the May 3rd street party can be sampled on Good Friday, April 9th, when members of Dublin Grassroots will be playing live music and handing out leaflets on Grafton Street. Dublin Grassroots has printed 50,000 leaflets outlining the reasons for the Mayday weekend protests and calling on people to take part.
NB: This is scheduled for lunchtime on Friday, April 9th, on Grafton Street. The exact time and location will be confirmed early next week.
