What
are my legal rights?
The
Irish
Council for Civil Liberties has
recently produced the second (updated) version of
their informative booklet called "Know Your
Rights". You can download this at their website in
Adobe Acrobat PDF format (click here to download
it). It contains information on a wide variety of
issues, relating to arrest, searches, legal rights,
powers of detention, etc in Ireland and is worth
reading to familiarise yourself with your civil
liberties in Ireland.
To
bring on the day
We
have also produced our own bust
cards and
legal
info for
the day. Everyone should download
these and
bring them along.
Preparing
for street demonstrations
As we
have said above in the call for people to
participate in the actions, everyone is welcome to
join in regardless of their age, gender, ethnicity
or background. We respect diversity, and people
from the Grassroots Dublin Network will also
respect people's decisions regarding which level of
action they want to pursue. All choices will be
accomodated in every environment - we will be
looking out for everyone and making sure that those
who want to observe from a safe zone will be
protected.
We
reccommend that everyone intending on coming to
Dublin during the EU presidency inform themselves
of personal safety and security for street
demonstrations. There is a wealth of information on
the internet about this, here are some links below
that will help you to get started.
