Just back from the meeting in Sligo where Caoimhe and Declan Bree Gave us two hours of orientation on the subject matter at hand. It was a nice meeting, which didnt go too deeply into technicalities. Nice, colourful photos of resilient people dealing with a hard reality.

I suspect as Caoimhe gets up to speed on where the Irish psyche is regarding the Nahr al Bared tragedy and on the General awareness in Ireland of the details she will direct her narrtive a bit more efficiently.

Word of warning : Some AH(s) had gone around the town on the weekend and stuck "CANCELLED" stickers on a lot of the posters. It's not known if this was an isolated tosser or the usual frothing at the mouth shower of Zionits organising a " No freedom of Speech " action.

Check your posters in your local area and make sure they haven't been tampered with in such a manner.

Also send a computer geek to your local meeting who can help Coaimhe organise her slideshow and sound and films , she hopeless at it and we missed some of her material.

Over and out.

Well done Sligo....well done Rover and Declan and the rest of you.
Caoimhe will speak in Dublin, in the Theatre in Connolly Books tonight, Tuesday 4th, at 19.30. The talk is jointly sponsored ny AWI, IPSC and the iawm.
Responding to the Rover re: the Sligo posters, about 50 of our posters for the meeting in Dame Street were ripped and destroyed. This despite us having gone through the process and got permission from the DCC.

Sign of the times?

See you all there tonight
