Jump To Comment: 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1Mayday is an international distress signal. It is appropriate to the Irish scene. Year after year the parades are poorly attended and the speeches through megaphones are uninspiring regurgitations of the same stuff. Look to the continent, where Mayday parades are huge, with lots of banners, street theatre, floats (!) and lively music. You get occasional running battles with the police some places - but that's another story.
Irish Mayday parades are dreary and poorly supported. Most trade unionists prefer to stay at home, go to sports events or go on day trips.
Yes, the "legalise cannabis march" is SO much more important that workers rights. People's right to get stoned definitely supersedes that of decent pay for housing, food, and so on. Which one will you be at? I know where I'll be.
The 'May Day' events in the Republic were pushed back by a week to accommodate people who wished to travel to Belfast for their 'festivities'. It's a ridiculous decision.
...should this march not be held on May Day? I know the unions are slow to respond to events, but in this case they've had a good bit of notice. About a century, in fact!
F*&$!! Bad clash of the ash. I'll be in touch and also raise this at our end. Not the fault of the first march.
We can work it out.

Remember the crimes of ICTU. With these at the helm our objectives will never be completed . This Mayday should be one for a change of the trade union movement in Ireland is run.
SAY NO TO ICTU
SAY NO TO SELLOUTS
Looks like a good leaflet Des . I'd like to see indymedia have a presence on the march this year .
May Day / Cannabis march? Should be good craic!
Might make the mayday march a bit better than what it has become,a drab colelction of aging bureaucrats.
