STOP 67 CAMPAIGN POSTER ON LIBERTY HALL
When I took this photograph I was unaware of the "Stop 67" campaign and I was more interested in the colourful building at the corner of Poolbeg Street and Tara Street.
The 'STOP67' campaign includes the National Women's Council of Ireland, Age Action and Active Retirement Ireland.
Controversial pension reforms in Ireland not only leave retirees at a loss of at least €45 per week until the State pension eventually kicks in, but are also degrading in forcing retirees to apply for Jobseeker’s Benefit which is means tested.
Liberty Hall is the headquarters of the Services, Industrial, Professional, and Technical Union (SIPTU). Designed by Desmond Rea O'Kelly, it was formerly the tallest storeyed building in the state, at 59.4 metres, (195 feet) high until it was superseded by the County Hall in Cork city, which was itself superseded by The Elysian in Cork. Liberty Hall is now the fourth tallest building in Dublin, after Capital Dock, Montevetro (now Google Docks) and the Millennium Tower in Grand Canal Dock.
Liberty Hall is more historically significant in its earlier form, as the headquarters of the Irish Transport and General Workers Union early in the 20th century, and also as the headquarters of the Irish Citizen Army (ICA).
