Representing the interests of Irish writers

Grand Theft Author petition presentation

The IWU committee will be handing in the petition to the Department of Trade on Kildare Street, Dublin, at 11am on Thursday 17 April. If you can attend then do please come along.

We will be inviting journalists and have alerted the Minister in the hope of obtaining a positive response from the Department. It’s vital that the government side with its citizens and its own (and EU) law against the tech giant and the more of us there to make that point the better.

We have placards if you’d like to hold one; they won’t look quite like the one below, even if the sentiment is the same. The petition is still collecting signatures, so please disseminate as widely as you can: https://my.uplift.ie/petitions/protest-meta-s-theft-of-irish-writing
