ALERT - POLICE HAVE ECOTOPIA CONTACTS

INFORMATION IN THE WRONG HANDS

As a concerned member of Gluaiseacht, I have seen no evidence by the organisation to alert people that their details are in the hands of the UK police.

A very stupid act of carelessness by a particular member, has led to the Ecotopia contacts being photocopied by the police at Holyhead last month.

Anyone who attended Ecotopia in August and gave their personal details to register,be aware. If you gave Gluaiseacht permission to keep your details,it is likely they are in police hands.

If you marked the box to have your registration form destroyed, I would advise you find out the means by which this was done.

1. To find out if your registration details were properly disposed of under the Freedom of Information Act

Or

2. To find out whether your details were taken to the UK and photocopied and now kept on record by the UK police

Or

3. To determine what actions of protest or action is being taken to get the information back
