Right to Work Campaign to Protest at IBEC feast next week and Hold "Reclaim the City Carnival" in August. The Right to Work Campaign, after a series of sucessful protests at the Dail, will be returning to the streets next week to 'welcome' Brian Cowen as he arrives for the IBEC presidents dinner which is due to take place on Weds June 23rd at 6.30pm.

The Right to Work Campaign will also hold a major street carnival cum protest on Saturday 28th August in Dublin. The street carnival will assemble at 2pm at the Garden of Remembrance, following feeder marches from local community areas. Feeder marches will gather at Christchurch, Phibsboro Shopping Centre and Pearse St Dart Station. Crowds who attend will be entertained with rousing protest speeches and music.

In a statement, James O Toole said, ˜There are nearly 500,000 unemployed in this country but very few will be able to afford a holiday. We are sending out an open invitation to the unemployed to come along with their families to a major protest carnival to Dublin.

˜We want to change in this country because it has always suggested that the unemployed just emigrate. But we think that protest can be mixed with fun and enjoyment. That is why we are inviting the unions, community groups and unemployment organizations to come to this carnival and get in touch with us with their own ideas on how best we can express our aspiration for a new and alternative Ireland".
