Raising funds for Medical Aid for Palestinians: www.justgiving.com/page/heret...
What does it take to be branded a heretic? The lines that cannot be crossed change over time and across places, but the methods employed to silence and sideline women’s political resistance are always the same: She’s mad, she’s bad, she’s dangerous to know.
Clare Daly, Bernadette McAliskey, and Lelia Doolan have all, in different ways, confronted this problem over their long careers. Each has tackled it in different ways - different times, different places, different strategies - but what can we learn from the common threads? In an era of climate catastrophe, of polarisation, of EU militarisation and ferocious zeal for a state of permanent war, how do we resist, how do we kick away the frame of the accepted and stand firm behind our heresies?
On 3 February, 2024, Smock Alley was host to an afternoon of unmanageable notions and opinionated speechifying chaired by Catherine Connolly TD, featuring Clare Daly MEP, Bernadette McAliskey, and Lelia Doolan, along with music from Aoife & Karen Hammond and Rita Fagan, and poetry from Sarah Clancy and Aoibh Johnson, all in celebration of St. Brigid and to raise funds for Medical Aid for Palestinians.

Started my morning in the United States being inspired by these "heretics". I love the "let's have a song" because so much is worth singing about. WONDERFUL, intelligent, thought provoking, inspiring!! A deep bow.

“We need to expose the concealed weapon of our intelligence and not apologize for it, no matter how uncomfortable this makes things.” As a woman, and a blind writer from what Americans now call the global south, I felt this in my bones. I’ll quote it everywhere. Thank you so much for sharing the entire event with us Mrs. Daly. My deepest respect and much love from Latin America.

I connect with Clare Daly and with Ireland for its causes and advocacies. Coming from the Philippines and having gone through Martial Law, the struggle is back. So your courage gives us courage. In sisterhood , thank you!

I love our scraggy ruffians , fiercely proud of ye❣ #InvokeArticle6 #ExpelUSfromUN ... I noticed last week when a Palestinian was stabbed in USA they described it as a "bias motivated incident" and not in fact a hate crime...it was based on bias yet just an incident...soft language to suit their own agenda

Love you Clare, my heroine, but murdering innocents is wrong. You are a fantastic brave woman. A pregnancy is no big deal girls, kids pop out after 'moving a piano' for a few hours, easier each time. Mothering without love is hard. Adopt, ladies, help eachother out, you can easily breastfeed twins! You can read stories, play with, and teach two children, care and work. Learn and teach how to manage fertility and mens impulses.
