it provided a reasonable excuse to wear filter masks. a good night was had by all (well apart from the hist twerps & irving).
The smog was brutal all right - that was before Mary Harney abolished it. Was bloody cold too, but we kept Irving in the building for hours and he didn't speak.
Cork was good in 1999 too, he did not even venture near the campus then and the debating society scurried off like the rats they are once we got into the building :)
I seem to remember him blathering on about free speech. Thanks to the demo Iriving was corralled upstairs for hours and missed his Late Late Show appearance.
you are right PH, it rings a bell all right - can't recall if it was Brian or Conor though?
I was one of the organisers of the '88 protest and I think it was another TCD 'debating' society (Philosophical Society) which asked Irving to speak. (Niall) Lenihan was indeed involved, after they had snuck Irving into the building aound 16.00 he came over to tell me the "eagle has landed" (I kid you not). I just told him it wasn't over yet.
Worth noting that later that year another Phil member tried to stage a party in his rooms to mark Hitlers birthday which a couple of us broke up. Later that night when we were in the Coffee Inn he arrived outside with a couple of thugs, pointed us out and they came in to attack us. Nobody was seriously hurt on either side but he later tried to sue another anarchist for distributing leaflets about what happened (the case was dropped after a number of months).
a residual interest in the constituency which
is Dublin University.
I believe though that Murphy went then on to a U.S. university, and it had been him who had issued the invite.
Terribly smog-y.
It was the Phil. I remember Tommy the Commie giving us the etimology of the word 'philosophy' over a loudhailer. Sounds like there are a few neo-Costelloes about. Still, nothin like a bit of unofficial industrial action.
Wasn't there some guy called Tolstoy, a relative of the famous writer, who ranted on about why Irving should be let speak.
And Marty the 'Commie' broke a window beside the door in the GMB. That was before he became FF spinmaster of course!
At that stage I was up on the bike sheds at the back with some other suspects removing glass from the windows, but the Phil pricks pulled huge bookcases across and they were to heavy to remove.
Hopefully there is a statute of limitations on this stuff... :) No :(
Toltsoy I had competely forgotton about the Toltsoy dude. wow that brings me back. Does anyone remember the U.S. flag with swastikas on and the campaign on Nicuragua that year in TCD, following year a U.S. intern student used the new "incitement to hatred" law campaigned for by gayrights activists as a legal basis for an action against TCDSU and TCD to have the flag taken down.
I remember someone burning it.
But Mags I wonŽt spill the beans. :-)
That wasn't me anyway. I only paid flying visits to TCD.
I remember though in UCD about the same time the SWP was having wee fits about the US flag being displayed outside the USIT shop. It was only to advertise the J1 programme, but - it being the SWP and a campaign being needed for that week - they got a petition up and stuff. World capitalism did not fall...
because it had been defaced by applying the swastikas so had to be destroyed under US law.
and
"World Capitalism lives to fight another day" was a Guardian frontpage caption for a photo of a crusty being battered by police at Seattle.
We used to have it in our kitchen in Streatham, next to a picture of the Swedish Royal family and some good recipes for mushroom flapjacks.
