Ireland 2016 The Unofficial Version


Directed and edited by Marcus Howard.This is my own independent response to the official 2016 Ireland Inspires video.I was that disappointed with the official 1916 video which made no reference to the leaders of 1916 and seemed like a watered down version of a video suitable for The Gathering that I decided to make my own one.. This video features quotes from various people involved in 1916 and looks at a variety of protests and issues around Ireland like the bondholder bailout protests which Ballyhea Says No and numerous other groups are protesting as well as some footage from protests at Shannon and water charge protests. The poem "Was It For This"? is performed and written by Stephen Murphy. I often walk around Dublin and wonder if the leaders of 1916 of which we will be commemorating in just over a year would be happy with the state of Ireland today.

Media Theory Marshall McLuhan


"The medium is the message" is a term coined by Marshall McLuhan. What he is trying to get across is that the form of the medium embeds itself in the message, therefore allowing the medium to influence the perception of the message. “The medium is the message” because it is the “medium that shapes and controls the scale and form of human association and action.” (Understanding Media, NY, 1964, p. 9)

Ballyhea Says No The Economists' March

At the 2014 Kilkenomics festival, respected economists and financial experts such as Constantin Gurdgiev, Max Keiser, Bill Black, David Hall and Stacy Herbert along with many others all marched with Diarmuid O’Flynn under the Ballyhea Says No to the Bondholder Bailout banner. This issue is bigger than the water charges as it affects Ireland's independence and sovereignty. Questions asked included should the €28 billion currently sitting in the Central Bank be burned, thoughts on Irish people paying 42% of Europe’s debt and what was their opinion on the Trichet letters which have only recently surfaced. The promissory note bonds are complex and perhaps deliberately so but they are breaking Ireland and making debt slaves of this generation and the next one. Please help get the message out there if you can. Directed and edited by Marcus Howard. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nf3wo-mkmyg

The Water Charge Roar of Dublin


On November 1st nearly 100 local protests happened all around the country of Ireland against the water charges. This video features highlights from the Dublin Lockdown which saw numerous groups and communities stand shoulder to shoulder in their refusal to pay the water charges by Irish Water. The atmosphere at the protest had some moments of real electricity and Irish people regaining their pride.
Organised by Dublin Says No, The Land League and numerous other groups the event was a big success. Guest Brendan Ogle of Right2Water also highlighted another peaceful march and National Assembly outside The Dáil on December 10th. Minister of Finance Michael Noonan said that the November 1st would be the last protest. Judging from this protest as well as the numerous other successful ones in Dublin and all over the country, I think he may be in for a big surprise. Directed and edited by Marcus Howard.
