Why in a Roman Catholic Church? More 'mainstreaming' by the SWP? Why not have it in Fine Gael HQ? Broaden the alliance bouys! You know you can do it! Bring the Right into the camp, seeing as you've sucessfully alienated the Left.

This may not get past the editor, but pardon my parliamentary Monto, Fuck off! It's idiots like you that start these meandering commentaries that are liable to cause only one of you -interpretors -? to recover from your mental illness. The reason the exhibiton is in a church is because all of the galleries are booked solid for the next year. We were turned down by the Ilac Centre public library. That will be raised in Dublin City Council by Councillor, Joan Collins. Now I don't want any questions from anyone, especially you mental meanderers!!! I am in the middle of framing the prints at the moment.
I am not in any political party and I organised the venue. I hope that answers your conspiracy theory meander.
In the meantime, I suggest you get yourself ANITting needle, no get two and make yourself a gag!!! And get a life while you're at it !!!!!!

I'm sure if michael and paula were amenable we could help out with getting an audience for the photos by knocking up a digital version of the exhibition on here. If either are interested please get in touch via the contact form

I spoke with Paul Mattsson and it would have been our intention to put a selection if not all up on the site, but we will do this after this current public viewing has finished. We would prefer if they were seen on display in the church.
All four photographers went to some expense over the last five years documenting the anti-globalisation and the anti-war movements demonstrations etc in Europe and the U.S.A. The brilliant photograph on the poster above was taken by Paul Mattsson in Dublin last year and we are selling this A3 poster at €10 each to help recoup some of the costs. These will be available at the church.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank all those in the Irish anti-war movement who assisted us with putting this project together, especially Martin O'Sullivan. We also thank the IAWM for there generous sponsorship.

We hope to take the exhibition to Cork some time soon as part of that cities European capital of culture.
Any enquiries to my number above.

I'm no longer resident in Cork (having recently emigrated to Dublin) but I reckon the Cork Anti-War Campaign would give you a hand with organising the Cork leg of the exhibition. I believe their current email address is corkiraq1@hotmail.com or phone Ray at 087 9510182.

Well done all and best of luck with the tour!
