LGBT Noise - Sing for Civil Marriage
There will be a protest in the form of carol singing at 12 o'clock, 15th Dec outside the Gaiety Theatre in Dublin

Gloria will be leading the crowd along with Ana Louise Gilligan and Katherine Zappone (of the KAL case), members of BelongTo, GLEN, the NGLF and MarriagEquality, while members of the group will be displaying banners and handing out flyers to unassuming Christmas shoppers who need to know about the lack of rights for gay people in Ireland.

"The purpose of this event is to create an awareness of the need for FULL equality for gay people and to let the public know that Lesbians, Gays, Bisexuals and Transgendered (LGBT) people no longer wish to remain second-class citizens under Irish law. The current government is promising to publish the heads of a bill for same-sex civil partnership in Spring 2008. Bullet points for discussion, not commitments to equal rights. This bill promises to demote rather than promote equality and is an insult to all who believe in human, civil and equal rights.

Only full civil MARRIAGE can grant full equality!" - www.lgbtnoise.ie

UL Meditation Room - directions

It’s on level 3 of the Main Building A-block at the top of the stairs. To get there, we have 3 routes, 2 of which are shown on this map:

UL meditation room

Green Route:
walk from the canteen towards the fishtank, turn left before the fishtank, then walk straight towards the LRA notice board. Use the stairwell behind the notice board to get to the 3rd level and there is the meditation room!

Red route:
walk to to the venus/vax computer labs and climb the stairwell there to the 3rd level and there is the meditation room!

Lazy route:

Get the lift (at goods inwards/UL post office) to the 2nd floor, go through the double doors to the right, take the first left, walk to the end of the corridor, go through the second set of double doors, and turning to your left, go up the stairs and hey presto, you’re there

There is also the contemplative centre in the Students’ Union Courtyard but that isn’t described here
