Yeah... well... if anyone's passing the Dail tomorrow (July 2nd) around 1PM they might get a bit a this:
(re-published from news source)
With the Government still ignoring the plight of Irish nightclubs, as they rush through legislation regarding the opening hours of clubs, we have decided that we have no option but to stage a public demonstration outside The Dail next Wednesday, July 2nd at 1pm. You are invited to come along to show your support.
This is a peaceful protest, designed to create more media and political awareness to the current situation, which is now threatening many jobs in the industry, not to mention the enjoyment of patrons all around the country.
We encourage those working within the industry particularly, to make up your own signs or placards displaying messages of protest. In the case of this demonstration our main types of slogans should refer to the threat of jobs and the 1am curfew that will be placed on late night venues on Sundays. Examples could be "Don't Kill Our Industry", "Save Our Jobs", "Don't Destroy Our Industry", "Save Our Sundays", "Save Ireland's Nightlife" etc.
For now we encourage you to contact your local TD and urge them to speak up in The Dail while this current alcohol bill is still up for discussion. To those who have already done so, we’d like to thank you very much.
More information on this demonstration will follow early next week.
Thanks,
Give Us The Night Team
