Exploring Ireland’s Vegan and Vegetarian Foodscape While it would not be accurate to suggest that Ireland is a hub of veganism or vegetarianism, too often it is written off as inherently unsympathetic to the ethics of plant-based eating and anti- speciesist politics. While it is true that Irish culture is historically tied to speciesism and its economy is especially dependent upon “meat” and dairy production, Ireland’s relationship with other animals is complex and sometimes forgiving. This essay seeks to bring shape to the Irish vegan ethic, one that can be traced along its history of animism, agrarianism, ascendency, adaptation, and activism. From its pagan roots to its legacy of vegetarianism, Ireland’s history has been more receptive to Nonhuman Animal interests than might be currently understood. -

Green Party Convention 13-14 July
LEADING THE CHANGE 2019 BLACKHALL PLACE GREEN PARTY12 - 15 JULYCONVENTION 13-142019 JULY WELCOME TO STONEYBATTER! FÁILTE GO BÓTHAR NA GCLOCH! Welcome to Dublin Central! It is 1,200 years since the Vikings first stepped ashore from their longboats onto the muddy northern shores of the River Liffey; just down the road from where we’re holding our Convention. Dublin 7 has long been known for cattle-dealing and glass- making, and in recent years has become a creative hub with cultural and food businesses attracted to the area. You’ll be able to savour hand-made ice-cream from Christiano in Sorrento’s chipper, or a flat white from Love Supreme. The Lilliput Press is just around the corner off Arbour Place, and Bí Urban is an amazing studio for social creativity on Manor Street. The National Museum at Collins Barracks is nearby, as are the graves of the 1916 leaders. In 1997 I ran in the General Election here before being elected in 2002 in Dún Laoghaire. Cllr. Neasa Hourigan now represents Cabra and Glasnevin just up the road, and is our candidate for the next General Election. Cllr. Michael Pidgeon’s ward is a stone’s throw away across the river. As a councillor here for the last five years I have focussed on making the city easier to get around, tackling disadvantage, and the housing crisis. Recently the City Council has upgraded older persons’ housing at St. Bricin’s off Arbour Hill to a Passive House standard. Plans for the Liffey Cycle route are in the pipeline, as are proposals to regenerate the nearby Fruit and Vegetable Markets. -
