Saturday 30 Sept saw the largest yet March for Choice pass though Dublin - the video shows (almost) the entire march passing with an audio of Bernadette McAliskeys speech delivered at the end of the march from the 1.15 minute mark.

The march, organised by the Abortion Rights Campaign was demanding the Repeal of the 8th Amendment to to Irish constitution which makes abortion illegal - punishable by 14 years imprisonment - in almost all circumstances. This referendum was past just before the decline of clerical power in 1983 meaning that no one under 53 today got to vote on it.

$Extinction Rebellion rallies in Dublin Saturday 20th saw another #ExtinctionRebellionrally take place in Dublin. Our video shows as it marches to block O’Connell bridge. Several hundred people marched through Dublin this afternoon as part of Extinction Rebellion Ireland. They then moved to block the northbound lane of OConnell bridge. This is in the context of the UN science report that says we only have until 2030 so thats now getting nearer to 11 than 12 years to reduce greenhouse gas emissions enough to prevent a disastrous climate change of 2 degrees centigrade or higher. We are already seeing devastation in many parts of the world most recently in Mozambique and in Iran where unusual big weather events caused very heavy flooding. In Mozambique in particular thats leading to serious food shortages both of these events have been connected with the climate change process by scientists. The problem is we live in an economic system capitalism thats promised on continuous growth and in fact goes into crisis if that growth falls much below 3% a year. 3% doesnt sound very much but it basically means every 24 years production doubles and with the doubling of production the emission of greenhouse gases rises by a similar fraction. Thats why were running out of time and we have to look at how we are going to manage to force change the sort of change at scale thats needed to prevent the continued emission and in fact increasing emission of greenhouse gases$
