The prosecution of a man for burning the Qur'an shows how Islamic blasphemy codes are becoming embedded in criminal law. Coming up with a legal definition of 'Islamophobia' will accelerate this process, says Sam Bidwell.

Civic Offices - College Green

national | miscellaneous | news report

Report this post to the editors

Civic Offices is not in the Direction Of College Green, so why did we end up there?

I guess I'm breaking the rules here because this isn't really news, but still I think it's important that this is cleared up.

When we left Burgh Quay i was told that we were going to the Civic Offices and on this Web-Site people have said that we were supposed to be going there aswell. But at Parliament St. things got confused and we ended up going down to College Green where the Gardaí were waiting for us. I know this sounds like something of a conspiracy and I don't mean it to but can someone tell me What Happened?

Why did we turn and head down in the opposite direction to where we were supposed to be going?

And just to answer what provoked the attacks: At College Green a number of us sat down in front of a Police Van. Then a garda confronted us and tried to tear up the reclaim the Streets Banner, All this could be seen on RTE. The gardai then tried to get people off the streets by dragging them away, then they pulled out the batons and all hell broke loose. Or at least this is how I saw it. Feel free to correct me.

Finally in Reply to "Reader"; a number of people that were at the RTS do work within our existing democracy, a number of people that were there are active with the Labour Party (myself included), the SWP, and I suspect there were some people there from the Socialist Party and maybe some Greens. Personally I think this is irrelevant. Some people don't electioneer and I don't see how that that invalidates their political concerns.
"Reader", you attacked us for taring all the gardai with the same brush, you have done just the same to us; I'm not a hippy. Although, again, I don't think that's relevant.

Ois.
