The Dublin Council of Trade Unions will march (Parnell Square – Mountjoy Jail – Parnell Square) at 12.00 noon on Saturday, 11th October 2003 in protest against (1) double taxation and (2) the jailing of bin tax protestors.

DCTU Motion: see full story.

The Dublin Council of Trade Unions will march (Parnell Square – Mountjoy Jail – Parnell Square) at 12.00 noon on Saturday, 11th October 2003 in protest against (1) double taxation and (2) the jailing of bin tax protestors.

All unions, trades councils, trade unionists, bin tax campaigns, community organisations, residents associations, and organisations and individuals opposed to double taxation are urged to support this march. Bring banners.

Speakers: Jack O’Connor (SIPTU), Eamon Devoy (TEEU), Mick O’Reilly (ATGWU), Sam Nolan (DCTU) and Ruth Coppinger (Fingal Anti-Bin Tax Campaign). Chair: Tom Ryan (DCTU).

Note time: 12.00 noon (due to match).

The following is the Motion passed at the delegate meeting of the Dublin Council of Trade Unions on Tuesday 7th October. One union (PSEU) spoke against the Motion which was, however, passed by all delegates with two abstentions.

“The Council condemns the imposition of Domestic Service Charges as unjust and a form of double taxation that particularly hurts PAYE workers and the disadvantaged; deplores the jailing of any person involved in peaceful protest and calls for the immediate release of persons so imprisoned, and resolves to coordinate an immediate campaign of protest, coordinated with other Trades Councils throughout the country at a date and a time to be determined by the Dublin Council of Trade Unions with a view to ending this inequitable form of taxation in our society, providing for proper funding of Local Government Services and opposing the privatisation of them.

That the Council will organise a demonstration, condemning double taxation and the jailing of bin tax protestors, to commence at Parnell Square at 12.00 noon on Saturday, 11th October.”
