Friday June 06, 2003 14:18 by Hugh Lewis - The Campaign Against Service Charges
The Campaign Against Service Charges held a meeting in Dun Laoghaire on Thursday the 5th of June with an attendance of approximately sixty people. The meeting was chaired by Donal Ni Fherraigh, the speakers were Richard Boyd Barret the Chair of the campaign and Mick O Brien of Sinn Fein. The flavour of the meeting was a blend of anger and nervousness at the imminent legislation which the PD/FF government are trying to push through which would request that refuse collectors refuse to collect the bins from the people whom have not paid the unfair double tax. Several proposals were carried including the need for more localised meetings which will commence over the coming weeks and from there arrange places to dump rubbish and to picket local T.Ds and councillors.

Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9Seeing as you are going to be so inconsiderate as to 'find' places to dump your rubbish, I would suggest dumping it in one of the many illegal dumps that surround the capital, shur whats the harm in that that? Its only rubbish isn't it? And if you just leave it alone for a while it'll just disappear!
it seems the swp are now moving back onto bin tax work in dun laoghaire after ditching it for months when the war arrived on the scene.
i also note that they invited a sinn fein speaker. sinn fein have less credibility and work in the dun laoghaire-rathdown area than the swp (and that's saying something!)
ps
has donal got a sex change? "Ní" is used for unmarried females in the Irish language!
I'd like to have her on my "Ní". Phwoooarrrr!!
your blackbags at the front gates of the Dáil?
The idea of collective dumping is to designate an agreed allocated sybolic dumping spot such as the local County Council building as to force the local council to collect our rubbish, not just randomly discard the odd black bag here or there as previously assummed. The idea of a collective dumping of rubbish outside the Dail is an excellent one, but unfortunately is unfeasible for the members of Dun Laoghaire Rathdown County Council although should be taken up by those nearest to Kildare St.
P.S
Despite previously suggested Donal did not have a sex change! In my ignorance i spelt his name Donal Ni Fherraigh (female spelling), I dutifully correct this to Donal (Mac) Fherraigh and apologise to any confusion I may have caused.
What a bloody shower of whinging wasters. If you want you're trash dealt with - pay the charges
How could one person chair both anti war AND anti charges campaigns? It really says something about the cult of the personality developed around RBB.
Even if the SWP HAD to have the chairs of both campaigns wouldnt it make more sense to have differentmembers?
I suppose theres as little chance of a democratic election heres as in IAWM.
RBB is the Chair of the Dun Laoghaire Rathdown campaign, not of all of the anti-bin tax campaigns.
The SWP wanted him to be chair presumably because they thought it would help his chances in the next local elections. They made him chair of the IAWM because it isn't as if they have all that many presentable media friendly and coherent leaders to go around.
And yes the SWP's inability to see an issue through if there is something more exciting around (more recruits and paper sales) has presented problems for the bin tax campaign in Dun Laoghaire and the couple of other places they are involved. Luckily, they were never involved across most of the city.
"The idea of a collective dumping of rubbish outside the Dail is an excellent one, but unfortunately is unfeasible for the members of Dun Laoghaire Rathdown County Council although should be taken up by those nearest to Kildare St."
Not a bad idea but it involve the corpo having to clean it up and would it effect them (PD/FF) much?
What about focusing on their constituency offices.
A simultaneous dumping all over the 26 counties.
True it would probably mean that local corpo would have to clean it up but imagine the local FF/PD TD to get to his/her constituency office.
