Communities fighting back
Special screening of ‘The Pipe’ followed by panel discussion
2pm, Saturday 5th of February
New Theatre, 43 East Essex Street, Temple Bar
From Rossport to Ringsend, communities all over Ireland are standing up for their rights and this special screening of ‘The Pipe’ creates a unique forum to connect various community struggles. The Pipe is a story of a community tragically divided over the Corrib gas project, and how they deal with a pipe that could bring economic prosperity or destruction of a way of life shared for generations. The screening is followed by panel discussion which focuses on the film, the community’s struggle in Mayo and communities in Dublin who are also fighting back.
Chaired by Annette Mooney, People Before Profit/United Left Alliance candidate for the Dublin South East constituency, the panel will comprise Risteard Ó Domhnaill (Director of ‘The Pipe’), representatives from different community groups (including the Anti-Incinerator and Anti-bus cuts campaigns), researchers and activists engaged in issues related to Irish gas and oil.
