Labour Youth demands right to advertise public demos

press release
Monday January 09, 2006 15:32 by Graham O Maonaigh - Labour Youth lychair at labour dot ie http://www.labouryouth.ie +353868381556
Labour Youth has called on Dublin City Council to reverse the ban on postering that has been imposed on advertising public demonstrations in the city centre. Labour Youth believes the ban limits the rights of groups that wish to advertise public gatherings and demonstrations. Speaking ahead of a meeting of the City Council this evening, Chair of Labour Youth Graham O’Maonaigh commented, “This postering ban – which has been in place for over a year - disproportionately affects progressive groups such as Labour Youth and limits the effectiveness of any campaign that an active organisation wishes to advertise. |

What is a city centre demo if it is not a 'public meeting'
Litter Pollution Act 1997: http://www.irishstatutebook.ie/1997_12.html
(7) A prosecution shall not be brought in a case in which an offence under this section is alleged to have been committed in relation to an advertisement if—
( a ) the advertisement is exempted development within the meaning of the Local Government (Planning and Development) Act, 1963, or is a notice displayed or erected in pursuance of a requirement by or under any enactment, or
( b ) the advertisement—
(i) advertises a public meeting, other than an auction, or
(ii) relates to a presidential election within the meaning of the Presidential Elections Act, 1993, a general election or a bye-election, within the meaning, in each case, of the Electoral Act, 1992, a local election within the meaning of the Local Government Act, 1994, a referendum, within the meaning of the Referendum Act, 1994, or an election of representatives to the Assembly of the European Communities,
unless the advertisement has been in position for 7 days or longer after the day specified in the advertisement for the meeting or the latest day upon which the poll was taken for the election, bye-election or referendum concerned.
While left activists around Ireland camapign for full working rights for migrants Labour Youth will be holding protests against migrants 'taking our jobs'. I stand for the right to poster for protests. However doesn't mean I'll like it when LY will put up posters against migrants and when they hold protests for strict immigration laws. Rabbitte and Kenny all the way!
I don't think the above attack on labour youth is fair at all. Although the labour party have come out with some real rubbish of late (pro-partnership and rabbittes idiotic ranting) that doesnt mean that this is the same line that labour youth are taking.
Many of them I have talked to are completely opposed to partnership, rabbittisms and so on.

We must be living in the end times when Anarchists leap to the defence of the Social Democrats in Labour Youth. I suppose you find that you have a lot in common, a shared contempt for the Working Class and support for the Privatisation of State Bodies under the guise of chipping away at the State.
Been checking the "Rapture Index" lately have you? I dont think there's anything at all wrong with anarcho's and LY finding common ground. Its a shame it doesnt happen more often. Nobody's saying we all have to get together in 'one big movement' (yawn) but finding campaigns people can work together and effectively on is hardly a harbinger of the end of civilisation.
Wow some of the recent comments on this thread have gone above my self loathing working class head. Sean anyone who suggests that Labour youth are planning to hold a protest against migrants is clearly tripping on hallucogenics. Myself, and other Labour youth members and indeed many anarchists who according to you share our ''contempt for the working class and support privatization of public bodies'' have been active in anti deportation issues. Myself and a few anarchist comrades of mine were even involved in a blockade of a garda van outside the GNIB last month.
Jayzuz this thread is going above my poor self loathing working class head.
