A short report with audio, video and photos

The Ireland Palestine Solidarity Campaign (IPSC) were present at this year's Mayday march in Dublin City. The IPSC formed one of the biggest contingents in a very poorly attended demonstration. I can't say for definitely, but it was suggested, several times by different people in attendance, that this was the smallest Dublin mayday march ever - why this was the case is not for me to say.

The IPSC were also represented on the speakers platform, where Freda Hughes of the IPSC Executive Committee spoke on the role Trade Unions and their members can play in the campaign for Justice for Palestine, with particular reference to the boycott and divestment campaign. Video and audio of the speech is below, and there is a transcript can be read here: http://cosmos.ucc.ie/cs1064/jabowen/IPSC/ipsc/displayRe...117#1

Personally, I'd like to thank all those who came out to join the IPSC contingent (and indeed everyone who bothered to turn up for the march), and Des Derwin and the other organisers for allowing the IPSC a platform for our message.
