meet up at the GPO at two, directions from there..... cyclists meet for a critical mass at 1.30 at the Garden of Remembrance.

Pages and pages of this IMC were taken up with postings and pictures of the street party and the subsequent gardai riots, as well as the huge public demonstration against the same gardai violence, around this time last year. Now it's time to show the gardai, after a year of scape goats being put through circus courts and dozens of people who were beaten that day being harrassed and denyed justice, that the people of this country will not bow down to intimidation and bully boy tactics. Let us not be afraid to come out and take over a part of the streets to mark the May day and to mark the one year anniversery of the Dame street riots. Let us not be beaten of our streets. I hope that the gardai siochana will stay true to their name this year and keep the peace.

This years May day weekend will be marked by another RTS party. A 2k
sound system will be in effect, as well as pockets of smaller sound
systems, trad musicians, samba bands and of course bongos and fire
jugglers.

Brings footballs, facepaints, juggling balls, whistles, glowsticks,
stupid costums to finish the weekend of an high note.

To be a part of the years biggest free street party, get down to the
GPO for 2pm. Latecomers should find directions available from there.
