Well all can say is , it was the dullest May Day I have ever been on......and I'm not talking about the weather! The efforts to drum up some chants by a female SIPTU official was only made worse by the half hearted grunts she got in response.
There was about 200-300 in attendance.

What efforts do the organisers put in to ensure a big turn out for this? Or do they want a big turn out? The speeches and music were all professionally done....though I don't know if the content of the speeches was anything better than the spin and claptrap we usually get from the big brass, but the music was great.
