Food Not Bombs Galway a success again

FNB continues to grow in Gaillimh, with local musicians helping us to redefine public space.

Last Sunday's event was a roaring success, we held a free picnic in conjunction with drummers and breakdancers. Followed by a rip-roaring gig by Ireland's finest conscious reggae group, Intinn, who expounded the virtues of FNB and spread positive vibrations all over Shop St well into the night (The Gardai apologised for asking us to stop the music around 1 am, which we did without protest out of respect for residents).

We weren't paid a visit from the community warden who has been trying to put a halt to our endeavours (See previous article: http://indymedia.ie/article/83461 ) Gardai drove past four times and didn't raise an eyebrow. It remains to be seen how this issue will pan out on forthcoming Sundays, though Niall O'Brolchain, Michael D Higgins and Catherine Connolly have all indicated their strong support for us.

Thanks to everyone in the community who helped make this event a success, including all those who gave advice on Indymedia.
