We’re uploading video reports from Saturday’s historic ‘Claiming Our Future’ event, the biggest Civil Society gig in the Republic Ireland in a generation.
It wasn’t a protest and it was different. And it achieved its aim of finding out what we’re FOR in a new Ireland. The top 3 values a new Ireland needs to emphasise, according to the final vote, are:
– equality,
– environmental sustainability
-and accountability

Also popular were policies leading to better governance and a maximum wage as well as the minimum wage.

Our first video is with Niamh McGrath aka ‘The elephant in the room’.

An in-depth and lively 11-minute interview with one of the organisers Siobhan O’Donohue is now online at
