Dublin 2015 read by Speaking of IMELDA, at GPO Dublin, Easter 2015

Since no government has acted wisely

We feel forced to act the fool

The lack reproductive rights for women in Ireland

Excludes women with reproductive capacity

from full citizenship, forcing women to go abroad

While Ireland shuts its eyes

Let us rise out of this mess

Irish Men and Irish Women

And all who live in Ireland

In the name of the citizenship

Promised to us on these steps

Ninety-nine years ago

We call on the government of Ireland

To give women with reproductive capacity

their full rights as citizens

Repeal of the eight amendment

Local abortion now!

Irish Men and Irish Women

And all who live in Ireland

In the name of the citizenship

Promised to us on these steps

Ninety-nine years ago

We call on the government of Ireland

to fulfill our international obligation

To provide women with reproductive capacity

Access to their full their full reproductive rights

Repeal the eight amendment

Local abortion now!

Irish Men and Irish Women

And all who live in Ireland

In the name of the citizenship

Promised to us on these steps

Ninety-nine years ago

We call on the government of Ireland

In the name of Savita,

of Miss X, of Miss Y

and the woman in the NP case

In the name of A and B and

C and D and of all women

With reproductive capacity in this country

Repeal the eight amendment

Local abortion now!
