B-Weekly Organising Thread: Protests, Meet-ups, Workshops

This is a thread for sharing any meetups, events, protests going on in Ireland that you are attending or would like to share with other leftists. Let's connect!

I'll be supporting the workers of the National Ambulance Service who go on strike tomorrow (Tuesday 12th) seeking pay parity following 6 years of unresolved dispute with the HSE.
