While some cynics on this site doubted protests against the past injustices of internment and plans for 42 day detention without trial would attract much more than ‘two men and a dog’, activists from éirigí supported by members of other groups and non-aligned individuals turned out to make their voices heard in sizeable numbers at locations across Ireland.
While I previously noted the ‘politics of protest’ may be being discarded in some quarters in favour of normalization, for some a revival of street protest seems to be gathering momentum.
We are reader supported. Donate to keep Slugger lit!
For over 20 years, Slugger has been an independent place for debate and new ideas. We have published over 40,000 posts and over one and a half million comments on the site. Each month we have over 70,000 readers. All this we have accomplished with only volunteers we have never had any paid staff.
Slugger does not receive any funding, and we respect our readers, so we will never run intrusive ads or sponsored posts. Instead, we are reader-supported. Help us keep Slugger independent by becoming a friend of Slugger. While we run a tight ship and no one gets paid to write, we need money to help us cover our costs.
If you like what we do, we are asking you to consider giving a monthly donation of any amount, or you can give a one-off donation. Any amount is appreciated.
