Irish Festival Awards 2009
Vote for Africa Day in the Irish Festival Awards 2009 Africa Day 2009 has been nominated in six categories in this year’s Irish Festival Awards. These Awards were set up in 2007 to honour the organisers of festivals and cultural events in Ireland, and the people behind the scenes who help make these events a success. Members of the public can vote for the festival they preferred and leave feedback and comments on the Irish Festival Awards website. Voting opened on 1st December 2009 and will continue throughout the months of December and January. What helped make Africa Day a success this year was the contribution of the many performers, artists, community groups and volunteers who gave their time to the event. We received great feedback from visitors to the festival. If you were one of the thousands of people who came along to the Iveagh Gardens in Dublin or the Civic Offices in Limerick and had a good time, please vote for Africa Day in the Irish Festival Awards. You can vote now by logging on to http://www.irishfestivalawards.info/votenow.html. Africa Day is nominated in the following categories: · Best one-day festival.· Best service.· Best toilets.· Best line-up.· Social responsibility award.· Family festival award. Africa Day is an initiative of Irish Aid, the Government’s programme for overseas development. In 2009, DHR Communications project managed two flagship Africa Day events on behalf of Irish Aid: ‘Africa Day @ Iveagh Gardens, Dublin’ and ‘Africa Day @ Limerick’. We worked in partnership with Davis Event Consultancy on both events. We also worked with Irish Aid and Davis Event Consultancy on Africa Day 2008. Further information about Africa Day is available at http://www.irishaid.gov.ie/africaday/.

Candidates, on RTE Radio One
Listen out for radio documentary, Candidates, on RTE Radio One at 6.45pm - December 5.In May 2009, Colin Murphy hit the roads of Ireland on the campaign trail with some of the 40 immigrants who ran in the local elections. In Dublin, Limerick, Monaghan and Donegal, he talked to candidates and the people they were canvassing about the issues and the practicalities of local politics in Ireland. From Patrick Maphoso's activist independent politics on Dublin's northside to Anna Rooney's staunch support for the Government in Clones, this project charts the diversity of experience and opinion amongst an emerging group of politicians.Ultimately, the experience was a sobering one: "It will take a long time for people to get used to immigrants participating in the elections," said Maphoso, "but the first generation have to pave the way." In Letterkenny, Michael Abiola Phillips is also philosophical: "I won't be disappointed even if I don't get in this time around," he said. "It means I have to work harder."Produced by Colin Murphy for FOMACS, the 20-minute version of Candidates is available as a podcast on RTE Choice and an eight-minute version will be broadcast on The Curious Ear on RTE Radio One at 6.45pm on December 5. You can listen to the programme and check out related FOMACS coverage and documentation of immigrant candidates contesting local elections across Ireland at www.fomacs.org

Press Release
Ireland's National Plan of Action to Address Female Genital Mutilation - one year since the launch
25th November 2009
Today marks the one year anniversary of the launch of Ireland's National
Action Plan on Female Genital Mutilation (FGM). One year on the National
Action Plan is yet to be formally adopted by any government agency and
specific legislation outlawing this form of torture in Ireland is still not
in place.
The goals of the National Action Plan are to; firstly, prevent the practice
of FGM in Ireland. Secondly, to provide high quality, appropriate health
care and support for women and girls who have undergone FGM. Finally, to
contribute to the worldwide campaign to end FGM.
We estimate that over 2,500 women living in Ireland have undergone the
procedure and thousands of children are at risk of this potentially fatal
practice, which is a gross violation of their human rights.
The Irish government must follow through on the recommendations proposed to
Mary Harney, Minister for Health and Children, and adopt a bill to
specifically outlaw the practice in Ireland. Only once this is achieved will
these women and children be protected and we can continue our work to
promote the abandonment of the practice internationally.
The Steering Committee is particularly concerned about the gaps between the
current United Kingdom legislation, covering Northern Ireland, and our own.
The Female Genital Mutilation Act 2003 in the UK introduced
extraterritoriality, making it an offence, for the first time, for UK
nationals or permanent UK residents to carry out FGM abroad, or to aid,
abet, counsel or procure the carrying out of FGM abroad, even in countries
where the practice is legal.
Salome Mbugua, Director of AkiDwA says "There is currently no explicit legal
protection against FGM in Ireland; neither is there specific legislation to
protect a child from being removed from Ireland to have the procedure
carried out overseas. These two scenarios need to be catered for together
within legislation. We hope that the Minister for Health and Children will
get the appropriate support from the Department of Justice, Equality and Law
Reform and the Attorney General in urgently progressing this matter."
the women who have been murdered in Ireland since 1996
Please see attached the invitation to the symbolic event to commemorate the women who have been murdered in Ireland since 1996 and to higlight the issue of Violence Against Women for the 16 Days of Action. It wil be held at the southern coner of Mountjoy Square Park opposite Ozanam House at 12.00 noon on Wednesday 2nd December.
Men and women are welcome. We are asking 159 women who come to each hold an A4 card with the place and date of the murder of one women which has taken place in Ireland since 1996. If you are sending women along, please tell them to look for me or one of the organisers as before the event starts so they can get a card and join the group of 159 women who will gather during the ceremony for a photo to be taken of them
I hope you will all tell your friends and members to come along and support this important campaign.
Thanks,
Nadette

Sunday Session
Love Music Hate Racism Ireland are hosting a Sunday Session Where - at the Twisted Pepper, Middle Abbey Street, Dublin 1When - Sunday 22nd November Doors at 8-30pm Admission €5
www.lmhrireland.com
The three live acts are
Radical Picnichttp://www.myspace.com/radicalpicnic
Whet you appetite as Radical Picnic deliver a veritable feast that will nourish the consciousness as well as the heart & soul! Sumptuously sandwiched between pulsating bass lines, searing guitar lines and thunderous rhythms comes an internationalist battle cry for the new era of counter culture.
Combining originally penned stellar tunes mightier than any sword with the occasional peppering of defiant classics served up for the modern world, RADICAL PICNIC, a musical collective formed in 2008, are determined to put the soul back in to Rock’n’Roll.
Joyce and The Sonic Gypsieshttp://www.myspace.com/mickjoyce
Following a string of inventive and original albums released by Joyce since 2000, such as “Mono 2 - Songs for Voice and Guitars of Various Persuasions”, the plan for the fifth album was to have a strong percussive vibe running through... A vibe, allied to a tension/connection between the east and west....
In 2007, as the new album The Bosphorus was being recorded, part of the wider project (Flesh and Blood) of cross cultural interconnectivity with - in Joyce's words - “our eastern brothers/sisters”, Joyce & Sonic Gypsies, a 10 piece band, focused on live performances here and abroad including performances in Vicar St and Whelan’s.
A unique and inspiring experience listening to the Western / Middle-Eastern rhythmic collaboration … While the philosophy of the songs is truly “Western” they get their soul and energy from the unmistakable and very distinctive Eastern & Southern rhythms…Is there such a thing? Come along, listen and decide!!!
Dermot Kennedyhttp://www.myspace.com/dermotkennedy
Dermot Kennedy is an 18 year-old singer/songwriter from Dublin. He's been playing the guitar to accompany his singing since he was 13. A couple of years ago, as he became more serious about music, he moved away from covering other artists and began to write his own music.
His main influences include Glen Hansard, David Gray and American band Bon Iver to name a few. He recently started a pure-music degree out in NUI Maynooth. Despite his young age, he has plenty of experience gigging in Dublin, in venues such as The Button Factory, Eamonn Doran's and loves heading down to The Bankers Inn on Trinity St. for the acoustic nights on a Tuesday.He hopes to keep gigging as much as he can, building up a profile and hopes his music can take him somewhere good...

Despite his young age, he has plenty of experience gigging in Dublin, in venues such as The Button Factory, Eamonn Doran's and loves heading down to The Bankers Inn on Trinity St. for the acoustic nights on a Tuesday.He hopes to keep gigging as much as he can, building up a profile and hopes his music can take him somewhere good...

Dear Friends,
Over the next few weeks the Fundamental Rights Agency of the European Union will be re-opening membership of the Fundamental Rights Platform of the Agency. I would like to encourage you to consider engaging with the Platform as a way to promote your consideration, in the EU context, of the Fundamental Rights and anti-discrimination issues you are concerned with.
Information will be available at:
http://fra.europa.eu/fraWebsite/civil_society/fr_platform/fr_platform_en.htm
The functions of the Platform which are listed in the Regulation of the Agency are;
- To make suggestions on the Annual Work Programme
- To give feedback and suggest follow-up on the Annual Report
- To communicate outcomes and recommendations of conferences, seminars and meetings relevant to the work of the Agency.
In addition, the Agency will interact with the participants of the Fundamental Rights Platform in accordance with specific needs related to areas identified as a priority for the Agency's work.
These functions mean that, while the Platform is not a decision making body of the Agency, it has the important function of informing FRA’s work and planning.
The following criteria will apply cumulatively in determining participation in the Fundamental Rights Platform:
Organisations committed to work and with a proven record of work for the advancement of fundamental rights;
Organisations active in the areas of the Agency's Multiannual Framework;
Organizations with a specific expertise, proven experience and engagement in matters within the remit of FRA;
Organisations which are representative in the field of their competence on national, regional, European or international level;
Local/grass roots organizations may participate on the basis of specific demand by the Agency (e.g. organizations working closely and directly with victims of fundamental rights violations) in order to directly inform the work of FRA from this crucial perspective;
Organisations with an ability and capacity to act as a link between their own constituencies, national and European networks and the Platform;
Organisations which are able to make known the work of FRA in their country;
In effect, engagement with the Platform is open, attending meetings and financial support is of course limited, but even without attending everyone can play a role.
From those who attended the last meeting of the platform in Vienna last May, an advisory panel for the Fundamental Rights Platform was elected for a period of one year. The next Platform meeting will be May 2010 in Vienna.
Please get in touch with me or directly with Massimo.Toschi@fra.europa.eu if you require further information.Please note also the attached information regarding a date for your diary: A meeting for NGO’s and other civil society actors interested in the Platform will take place at the National University of Ireland, Maynooth on December 3rd before the Fundamental Rights Agency Roundtable Discussion.
Any further information you require can be accessed by following one of the links below, a number of studies have been completed over the past year which may be of interest to you.
Best wishes,
Anastasia Crickley

Houses of The Oireachtas
October 2009 - A Month of Action For a Just Debt Policy for Ireland
With the World Bank and IMF holding their annual meetings in Turkey this week, now is the time to bring the attention of our political representatives to the urgent need for a new, just debt policy for Ireland.
Last year, DDCI campaigners persuaded the Minister for Overseas Development Peter Power TD to agree to publish a new debt policy. And now the Department of Finance are drafting it. This month is a critical month to ensure that the Minister for Finance Brian Lenihan and Minister Peter Power are aware of our deep concern that the people of the Global South must not pay for unjust and illegitimate debts.
This campaign is all the more urgent right now as impoverished countries face into yet another devastating debt crisis as a result of the global financial crisis. This is because the solutions being offered to countries of the Global South by the World Bank and IMF are to give more loans with damaging policy conditions attached, rather than to do what is needed - cancel unjust debts and provide more grants to help people to cope.
To add insult to injury, the World Bank is offering loans with policy conditions attached to impoverished countries to cope with climate change - despite their not being responsible for the climate crisis in the first place. Offering more credit to impoverished countries is not the solution to the debt or climate crises!
DDCI is asking you to support the Campaign for a Just Debt Policy for Ireland by:
1. Printing out the attached petition and asking your friends / family / comrades / community to sign it (Or we can post you printed copies on request).

With the World Bank and IMF holding their annual meetings in Turkey this week, now is the time to bring the attention of our political representatives to the urgent need for a new, just debt policy for Ireland.
Last year, DDCI campaigners persuaded the Minister for Overseas Development Peter Power TD to agree to publish a new debt policy. And now the Department of Finance are drafting it. This month is a critical month to ensure that the Minister for Finance Brian Lenihan and Minister Peter Power are aware of our deep concern that the people of the Global South must not pay for unjust and illegitimate debts.
This campaign is all the more urgent right now as impoverished countries face into yet another devastating debt crisis as a result of the global financial crisis. This is because the solutions being offered to countries of the Global South by the World Bank and IMF are to give more loans with damaging policy conditions attached, rather than to do what is needed - cancel unjust debts and provide more grants to help people to cope.
To add insult to injury, the World Bank is offering loans with policy conditions attached to impoverished countries to cope with climate change - despite their not being responsible for the climate crisis in the first place. Offering more credit to impoverished countries is not the solution to the debt or climate crises!
