AAA in St. Nicholas of Myra, off Francis Street, Dublin 8

Apologies for our blatant attempt to push this item up on top of the latest comments in the early minutes of Saturday morning.

At the aaa today there'll be a certain amount of veggie food at about tea time.
There'll also be tea and coffee, possibly bikkies.
The Liberty Belle fell through at the last moment but we can probably have a few cans after tea in St. Nick's.

It would be good to discuss anti-war stuff, come up with some concrete actions and delegate folk to attend next Saturday's Cosantóirí Síochána meeting in the Teachers' Club.

It'd be good to hear from the several groups who have GrassrootsDissent as a common point of departure, of which BODY, Residents against Racism, Street Seen, Shell2Sea and the Rossport Solidarity Camp are only a few.

It'd be better to hear about the activities of other groups such as the Cork Harbour Alliance for a Safe Environment, travellers' rights groups, patients' rights groups, those fighting the poster ban, Gluaiseacht, Anarchist Youth, immigrant groups, FEIC, PANA, Code Pink, the Black Shamrock Collective and Na Cosantóirí Síochána. And not forgetting Anti War Ireland.

Now, we possibly won't have delegates from all of these groups, but we hope that the next Grassroots Gathering (date and venue to be discussed today) will be better organised than this little effort.

As well as that, it'd be good to organise a bus to Glengad in the next few weeks, now that the evenings are getting longer. We personally would like to get the Critical Mass going again or perhaps organise a different sort of RTS in Dublin, to coincide with the government's appropriation of the whole 1916 thing.

Come on, what else would you be doing on a cold Saturday afternoon?
