This is a great victory for the global bds movement.Respect to Councilor Collins!We must now lobby and put pressure on the Railway Precurement Agency and make them realise what Veolia are doing.Veolia have lost numerous contracts worldwide due to public pressure.Next stop Rpa Parkgate st!
victory! ireland activists inspiring as always.
Time to press home the advantage. Well done, IPSC!
Dermot is right...and wrong(ish).
Ultimately, this motion has no legal effect and the City Manager can get on with business as usual. In truth, what passes for democratic 'local government' in this state is a joke and elected representatives have very little real power, which lies with the state-appointed bureaucracy. It's a poor form of representative democracy.
Nonetheless, the passing of this motion remains a tremendous act of solidarity with the people of Palestine. It might not have legal effect but it has moral force behind it - the elected councillors of Dublin City Council have sent out a clear message about Israeli apartheid and those companies that collaborate with that obnoxious system. The City Manager should listen to these voices and the campaign needs to focus next on ensuring that he does.
I supported the motion last night and welcomed it as a positive contribution by PBP - however....
Activists here should realise that the motion has absolutely no legal implications or affect.
The City Manager will still be obliged to consider any legal tender for a contract and accept the best offer no matter what the motion states.
I am not defending that. I am personally strongly opposed to the present system of Local Government and National Procurement Policy but that it the law as determined by the Oireachtas.
Brilliant stuff-the news is spreading like wildfire across the global BDS movement.
Well done to our city guardians and to everyone for all the hard work in spreading the message and lobbying on this very important motion.
Lets now mobilise every single council in the country with wave after wave of motions excluding Veolia from any future contracts until such time as they divest from their shameful operations in occupied Palestine. This will send out a very powerful message to complicit companies such as Veolia that the people of Ireland will not allow any company involved in human rights abuses of the Palestinian people to operate in our country without sanction.
Next stop : RPA do not allow Veolia a back door entry to the Metro North.
Great News, well done!
