For the last few years since the CV19 scamdemic undocumented immigration into Ireland has surged. No one is allowed discuss it because they do not want any rational debate about it. If you do you are labelled an extremist. However this out of control immigration is fully facilitated by the Irish government and the EU and the shady figure behind the Neo Con movement pushing for endless war, wokeism and globalist agenda.

event notice
 Sunday November 03, 2013 21:48 by Frank Keoghan - People’s Movement post at people dot ie 25 Shanowen Crescent, Dublin 9 087- 230 8330
An Interactive Art Exhibition
A new exhibition examining the referendum campaign in 1972 on Irish membership of the (then) EEC is due to be opened in Templebar on Saturday 16th November 2013. Admission is free - Everyone Welcome
Artist Robert Ballagh to Launch new Exhibition at 7.00 pm on Saturday evening the 16th November
The referendum that took place on May 10th 1972 saw the crucial decision of Ireland joining the following year, 1973, forty years ago.
In 1972 the 6-week referendum campaign saw many political and cultural figures contributing to the debate in this once-in-a-lifetime vote. These included the late Garret Fitzgerald, Tom Barry, Alan Dukes, Desmond Fennell, Jack Lynch, Michael D. Higgins, Charlie Haughey, Mary Robinson, Declan Costello, Niall Tóibín, George Colley, and Luke Kelly.
At a time when an unprecedented economic crisis has prompted some to reassess Ireland’s
relationship with the EU, this exhibition looks at the aspirations and concerns captured in 1972 in
pamphlets, leaflets and election posters. Many of the key public policy decisions in political, economic
and social areas that shaped modern Ireland over the last generation can be traced back to our joining
the EEC
Some of the areas that came up for debate were Fisheries, Foreign Policy, Agriculture, and Industry and Labour issues. These issues are dealt with in the material on exhibit: posters, pamphlets, leaflets, notices of public meetings, internal bulletins for the campaign groups, and newspaper articles.
This is the first time that this type of exhibition has ever been done!
The “Ireland into EEC - The 1972 Debate” exhibition only has a short run before it goes on tour around the country: Saturday November 16th – Thursday the 21st in the Culture Box (opposite Charlie’s 11 and next door to The Stage Door coffee shop), 12 East Essex Street, Templebar, Dublin 2
Exhibition will run from Sat 16th to Thur 21st inclusive from 12.00 to 6.00. Free Admission
People’s Movement campaigns against any measures that further develop the EU into a federal state and to defend and enhance sovereignty, democracy and social justice in Ireland.
Patrons: Robert Ballagh, Cllr. Declan Bree, Cllr Catherine Connolly, Bob Crow, Raymond Deane, Rev. Terence P. McCaughey, Prof. John Maguire, Dervla Murphy, Joe Noonan, Cllr Seosamh O’Cuaig, Cllr Chris O’Leary, Cllr Cieran Perry, Thomas Pringle TD.

It would be interesting to see what kinda arguments people were making at the time, and the organisations involved in the campaigning.
Peoples attitude have changed to Europe because the thing that my parents voted on in 1972 has changed into something completely different.
Irish society needs to have a conversation about whether we should remain in the EU.
This year marks the 40th anniversary of European accession!
Where did the last 10 years go?
I had to check online if anything was done by officialdom to mark the occasion. There were some commemorative events this year to mark the 40th anniversary, believe it or not! They were very low-key but they were there. See here
http://www.thejournal.ie/40th-anniverary-eu-accession-9...2013/
Nothing on the scale of the “EU30” self-congratulatory pomp and splendour 10 years ago. The balloons, the children's choir, the pull-out edition in the mainstream rags. Very different this year.
I'll prob miss the launch :(
but i'll go in and have a gawk at the exhibition mid-week after work.
I think it is a timely exhibition. Attenders can match the predictions made in 1972 with what has actually happened. We can see if government and newspaper assurances at the time have held water or have been proved to be misleading.
Is this an art exhibition or is it a historical-political exhibition? Would it be considered to have an aura of artistic content making it eligible for exhibition in art galleries around the country? If so, can it be called conceptualist art / installation art? Will it be reviewed by art critics among others? I'd be interested to read what they might think of it as art, apart from the politics and history.
Re: "Attenders can match the predictions made in 1972 with what has actually happened. We can see if government and newspaper assurances at the time have held water or have been proved to be misleading..."
I think the fact that on the same weekend and there is a Conference on: The EU - The Military Dimension says a fair amount about one aspect of the EEC/EU and what it has become and where it is heading.

And what about these water cuts I'm reading about in Dublin. Wow, That is some progress!! All that money wasted....
Don't worry about those water problems. Water service privatisation will solve everything just like it did in Bolivia. (yeah right!)

Europe 2013 is starting to look a lot more like South America in the 1990's for the smaller countries who have had their economies similarly destroyed by financial terrorists.
Wow! The People’s Movement have got 418 likes since the Exhibition was first announced.
