Occupy Dame Street: DayTwenty One![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() A Fractious General Asembly The General Assembly of the Occupy movement worldwide is a key part of its structure. It is open to all members of the public to participate. And whilst this is an admirable attempt at inclusion and open democracy it is not without its problems. At this assembly on the 28 Oct a proposal was made to enter into an alliance with the Enough is Enough campaign which is working against the austerity measures of the Irish Government.

These claims were rejected by the Enough is Enough campaign. The video shows some of the exchanges during the meeting.
