Let the Paddy's Day marches throughout the World become AntiWar marches.
Maybe that way we'll have something to _celebrate_ on Paddy's Day and we'll have shown the world that the Irish and Ireland aren't just a commodity to be trivialised one day a year.
I suggest that we keep Paddys Day marches free of politics - its a family day after all. Have you march/protest by all means, but don't hijack the traditional fun parades. PSF supporters did it in our area a few years ago and most people were sickened by it.
but unfortunately I've decided to give up protesting for Lent.
And I think the scam about Paddy's day not counting is a bit of a cop out.
On the other hand, if I did go protesting I might be interviewed in the crowd by Cliona Ni Buachalla, or another one of those generic RTE, able-to-speak-Irish types, who seem to go in for that sort of thing.
Oh decisions, decisions!
Amanda,
perhaps you should stick to having fun and let mammy and daddy worry about how to organise protests ... no run along and be a good girl!
I don't want to trivialise what is obviously a very grave issue but would it not be an idea to Reclaim Paddy's Day? I can't help smiling at the mental image of an enormous mock-plane being hammered by those great big inflatable tri-colour hammers, the ones with "You'll never beat the Irish" emblazoned on them, all the way down O'Connell Street.
i'm interested in doing tshirts or placards with "1845 - there was no famine, only sanctions" on them, i think irish people mustn't be allowed to have so short a memory.
i may subscribe to your publication...
I'm Irish and I wear black all the time as it is...war paddy's day or not. guess I'll have to wear white or red or something.
ANybody in the same boat?
cheers
same boat right here...black every day of the week, but i'm wearing a white piece of cloth around my left arm as a sign of protest until this war is over..
and apparently i'm acting as a steward for important people at the parade on paddys day,
so i might voice some opinions to our good pal bertie
wish me luck...(luck in actually getting near anyone important as a last minute volunteer)
...i'm an idiot
I think you all are a bunch of wankers.... protest all you want... you will only look like fools... The US is going to war!
I don’t think that we need to create negative energy with “wearing black, holding a black flag” or taking a day like St. Paddy’s day to protest. If anything we should hold white flags to show the support of peace in our world. I believe to make changes towards peace we must give of ourselves. We must help other people who have less and need our help. I would ask keep St. Paddy’s day, a day of celebration, happiness and joy. Positive energy and being kind can help with many troubles.
