In response to the changes to the application of the Equal Status Act contained in the Intoxicating Liquor Bill, 2002, the Equality Coalition, headed by the Irish Traveller Movement will be holding a protest rally at 11am on 19th June 2003 at the Department of Justice on St. Stephen's Green.

The Coalition consider the provisions contained in the Bill, as a roll
back on the equality legislation, as it will remove the jurisdiction
of the ODEI - Equality Tribunal, transferring it to the District
Courts, in relation to cases of discrimination for access within the
service industry.

Please offer your support to the
Coalition members (as listed below) and display your own objections to
the provisions.
