Labour Youth will hold a 24 hour vigil outside Dublin's GPO from 6pm this Wednesday (22 December) to 6pm on Thursday to raise awareness and show support for the thousands of Irish people forced to emigrate to Britain to earn a living. This vigil follows last week's visit to England by a Labour Party delegation led by Deputy Emmet Stagg, to meet representatives of the Irish emigrant community in Britain.

Speaking ahead of the vigil, Labour Youth Chair, Donal O'Liathain commented, "The Irish diaspora kept Ireland alive for many years by sending home the pennies and pounds it had scraped together. Many of these economic exiles are now in their twilight years and after a lifetime of hard work the Irish state owes them a debt of gratitude.

"The Government has not done enough to help those who kept Ireland's economy afloat for so many years. These people are our friends and family who left not in search of a better life, but so that they could feed and provide for their loved ones in Ireland. This was not a journey of choice but of necessity.

"Our vigil seeks to highlight the plight of many of those who have now fallen on hard times, and is in protest at the government's failure to provide funding in line with the amount recommended by its own taskforce on the Irish emigrant community."


Event: 24 Hour Vigil in support of Irish Emigrant Community

Date & Time: 6pm Wednesday 22nd to 6pm Thursday 23rd.

Location: GPO, O'Connell Street, Dublin 1
