This Friday at 7pm, the Main Guard Clonmel there will be a silent candle lit protest. The Stand is being made by and for the women of our town to make a stand, a stand to highlight that the tinsel and sweet promises that are being offered by those we have elected to govern, are not offering the true meaning of representation. They are standing for what is missing in our society, a society where the actions of one are judged on an equal basis as the actions of others. Over the last 6 weeks we have seen in Clonmel the actions of a private company, who have been contracted on behalf of the government to install meters. These are ordinary workers but like in all organisations we have seen individuals rise to the top and show they care not for the law, the rights of the individual, nor for even what ever good name their company may have, what is cared for is the near 600 euro per unit that is collected for installation. An so after receiving and witnessing threats, cursing, intimidation, insults, after seeing the infirm, the older members of our community insulted and locked in their homes, the women of Clonmel are having their Say… Remember the word Democracy derives from the Greek meaning People Power, it does not mean as we are seeing in practice the wholesale protection of a private company, it does not mean rushing bills through on Christmas day with out Due and open Discussion, it does not imply that once elected the elections promises made can be the but of a joke and mentioned as such on National media.. We have seen so much happen our state that the time has come for the mothers, sisters, aunts, grannies, daughters to arise and remember those women in Irish History who stood when few would. Arise Mná na H’Éireann and with your actions, show you can be part of the difference.
