Jump To Comment: 1Give Us The Night Public Demonstration Tomorrow (2/7/08) at Dail Eireann, Kildare Street, Dublin 2.
Give Us The Night (an independent lobby group made up of DJs, promoters and other professionals working within the Irish music industry) are staging a public demonstration outside Dail Eireann, this
coming Wednesday, July 2nd, from 1-2pm. It follows the presentation of the Government’s Intoxicating Liquor Bill to The Dail, which recommends that all nightclubs return to the system of applying for
monthly special exemption orders, which would see all nightclubs closed at 2.30am, as well as having to close at 1am on Sundays.
It is well known to many, that the system of 3.30am closing in Dublin (as it currently stands for nightclubs using theatre licences) has been contributing to sequential closing between late bars and
nightclubs, thus having a positive effect on the streets at night, leading to less public disorder and making public transport easier to come by for patrons.
Give Us The Night accepts that theatre licences will not, in the future, facilitate late opening for nightclubs, however we seek the introduction of an equivalent licence for nightclubs only, which
would come in the form of a specific nightclub permit.
The demonstration takes place at 1pm outside Dail Eireann, Kildare Street, Dublin 2. We advise you to converge close the gates, without obstructing the flow of people leaving or entering the grounds
of the main buildings. If numbers are such that you need to move slightly from your position to avoid overcrowding, either a member of An Garda Siochana or Give Us The Night will advise you where to
move to. It should be noted that signs or placards cannot be tied to the front railings of the gates.
We encourage promoters or those carrying their own signs or placards to arrive slightly earlier, where they can make contact with a member of the Give Us The Night Team standing outside Buswell’s
Hotel on the corner of Molesworth Street, straight across the road from The Dail. Messages or slogans of protest can include the likes of “Don’t Kill Our Industry”, “Save Our Sundays”, “Don’t Destroy
Ireland’s Nightlife”, “Respect The Nightclub Industry”, “Don’t Kill Our Jobs”, “Save Ireland’s Nightlife”, “Sequential Closing For All Of Ireland” etc. Witty messages or slogans of your own are of
course welcomed, once they are on topic and don’t contain any bad words!
Everyone is welcome along; however we can’t stress strongly enough how important it is to co-operate with Gardai on the day, to make this a peaceful, incident free protest. Anyone who makes a nuisance
of themselves to the Gardai or who causes difficulties to this demonstration, for whatever reason, will be asked to leave immediately. This is of course a worst case scenario and one we do not
anticipate; judging by the widespread support and encouragement we have been receiving since we announced the demonstration last week, we expect this protest to be a successful event attended by
people from across the country that genuinely care about the matters at hand.
A selection of music will be played throughout the hour by some of the Dublin’s most well known DJs, with a number of speakers also scheduled to appear.
Please feel free to pass this mail onto whoever you think may be interested.
Hope to see you tomorrow,
Give Us The Night Team
