Galway Mayor’s Youth Conference

caricature artist Allan Cavanagh 2007Just back from the Mayor’s Youth Conference in the Galway Bay Hotel. I was doing my conference cartoons based on the responses to the themes of the conference: mental health, transport and anti-racism. There were 300 young delegates from all over Galway and it always amazes me how articulate and confident many kids are today (at 32 I’m old enough to be of the speak-when-spoken-to generation!)

Galway Water Crisis Protest

Galway Water Crisis CartoonFollowing on from my last post, The Looking Glass has asked me to post on a protest that’s happening over the water fiasco:

“Protest going ahead Monday 23 April. Assemble at City Hall, College road from 6pm. Please text people about this and ask them to pass it on. Also can you copy and paste this and post it as a bulletin yourselves. Its crucial we get large numbers of people at this protest. Thanks”

See you there and bring your own water!
