WEF October: Working Group Meetings
Invitation to participate in working groups against WEF October Summit in Dublin
Hello all, anti-WEF October 2003, Groups and Working Groups, First round of meetings:
Sunday July 20th, Teachers Club, 36 Parnell Sq., Dublin 1, 12.00am to 3.00pm. Hello all, anti-WEF October 2003, Groups and Working Groups, First round of meetings:
Sunday July 20th, Teachers Club, 36 Parnell Sq., Dublin 1, 12.00am to 3.00pm.
Barry Finnegan here on behalf of the Irish Social Forum Communications Working
Group.
I am still writing up the summaries of the proceedings of the 2nd all-island
ISF get-together of Sunday last. (100 people from all over the island registered
their attendance!) I will send out the proceedings this Sunday the 13th
July 2003. We could not find a room for this Sunday the 13th July, so we
went for the following Sunday the 20th July.
At the end of the 2nd all-island ISF get-together we agreed that the various
groups and working groups emanating from the consensus would meet up again
in Dublin in order to finalise details and a co-operation strategy for the
events taking place in Dublin next October in opposition to the World Economic
Forum summit and their neoliberalist ideology and policies.
If any of your friends, colleagues and comrades did not get this email it
is because I could not read their handwriting on the registration sheets.
all the best,
Barry Finnegan
- on behalf of the Irish Social Forum Communications Working Group.

Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4I attended the all-island meeting in the Teachers' Club. Apart from a few ten-minute snippets from Derry, Belfast and Cork (a la reports from the sticks), it seemed to be entirely taken up with things going on in Dublin. Is it really worth our while for some of us (I travelled from Derry) to go all the way to Dublin for this? And after this expense, to pay E5 entrance fee before getting a look-in?
If these "all-island" meetings are going to be mainly a Dublin-orientated affair, at least do us the justice of telling us so in advance so youse can do your thing and we can do ours.
In many things it seems there is an increasing Dublin/ rest of Ireland divide.
Dermot,
your comments are most welcome and this issue has come up many times at the meetings in Dublin.
First of all the North East Social Forum have proposals to have an all-island ISF event in Belfast late Aug/ Sept. So thats an improvement.
And secondly one of the reasons we have the North East, North West and South West Social Forums is to get over this problem. Perhaps it would be good if the NWSF which you are involved with worked out a way to co-ordinate activities with the people / groups in Dublin. The NESF has done this see:
http://www.indymedia.ie/newswire.php?story_id=60394&PHPSESSID=9ad13fb9e59cf9dc9c9ab080fe1f220a
Are there any issues you wish to raise in your absence for the 20th. If so please post to:
[email protected]
By the way has anyone heard any news about the first meeting of the South East Social Forum which was posted on the newswire a while back? What groups were invited, who went, how did it go etc?
The ISF Communications Group is currently setting up North East, North West and South West Social Forum webspace on the irishsocialforum.org website. this will mean you have autonomy over its contents and can post your minutes, doccuments etc.
And the 5 euro / 2 euro concession of July 6th was to cover the rent of the hall which was 150 euro.
all the best,
Barry
I'm not going to go on about it - I simply maske the point that this was supposed to be IRISH forum not a DUBLIN forum. It's the highest of arrogance to dismiss the way the rest of the country was ignored by pointing to our local forums and that they had their say on the day(ten minutes, my, thank you!).
May we follow a similar logic and hold an Irish forum in Belfast and allow the Dubs a ten-minute lookin followed by taking over all the rest of the day with Belfast concerns? Might you, if we did that (and if you bothered to turn up), feel a wee bit peeved?
