A handy checklist of things to bring to S.O.S.

· Donations of vegetables, grains, pulses or bread for Food not Bombs (the more we bring them the longer they can feed us) (optional)

· Large containers of water from your local holy well (optional)

· Tents and sleeping bags (optional)

· Musical instruments (optional)

· Digital, video and traditional cameras (optional)

· Love, creativity, imagination and an unquenchable desire to boogie down (essential)

· Resolve to respond to any harassing guards with simple truths (ex. You are a guardian of the peace and I am here to celebrate peace. Surely your duty is to protect me from those who want war.) and to maintain a firm and peaceful stance in the face of any aggro (essential)

· Yourself and your friends (essential)

Any idea how much it will cost?

He really is the Mr Burns of the left.

How much do you reckon you could make on a bus to Shannon?
Would it be worth running your own one?
Or would that involve getting off your arse, leaving the petty commentaries for a few seconds, freeing up a couple of bytes on the newswire, and maybe using your obvious talents to try to get someting done?
Leave the ditch and use that hurley!

a CIE bus or Iarnroid Eireann train, which are run by a mainly unionised workforce, not a private company

organise yourselves to meet at a certain time and just head down there together, that way you dont have to give your money to any group that you dont like

People who dont want to go with any organisation, and like to sleep, in the mornings.

...the national demo is an open/inclusive event and not linked to any political party. Try getting out of bed.

I know. But the buses will not be so. It is a simple option, other then a bus with S(W)P members trying to sell you something. Dont want to get it, fine, dont. And i like my beauty sleep, thank you very much!

...I'm sure there'll be more than S(W)P types on the Dub bus. Bloody well better be. Other options? Get a carshare together or try cycling (and yeah I'm serious - weather's great!).

Not a bad idea. A cycle from Dublin to Shannon...
something to think about in the future...
