Belfast's May Day parade

category antrim | worker & community struggles and protests | news report author Saturday May 06, 2006 17:25author by Ciarán Ó Brolcháinauthor email ciaranobrolchain at hotmail dot com Report this post to the editors

A photographic journey

A large crowd turned out in Belfast city centre today for the May Day parade. I'm no good at calculating numbers so I'll just let the photos speak for themselves.

If anyone feels the need to use any of the photos from the parade, could you please credit me with taking them? Either that or you could give me a couple of quid; I don't mind either way.

The event kicked off from the Arts College where a number of trade union activists spoke on issues relevant to workers today. I missed the start but I heard Tayra McKee of the ATGWU speak about the importance of unionising migrant workers and the importance of solidarity between national and foreign national workers. Sam Nolan of DTUC spoke about capitalism and the class struggle, the occupation of Iraq and he quoted some Connolly (which we Belferstians love come May Day).
