St David’s Day: 10 things you need to know about the Welsh festival

By Chris Wilson, Mirror.co.uk 1/03/2010

1. St David’s Day falls every year on March 1. This was the date patron saint of Wales, St. David died in 589.
2. It wasn’t until the 18^th century though that St David’s Day was declared a national day of celebration in Wales.
3. Saint David is typically depicted holding a dove, and often standing on a hillock. His symbol is the leek.
4. In 2007 Tony Blair rejected calls for St. David’s Day to become a Welsh national holiday, despite a poll saying that 87% of Welsh people wanted a March 1 holiday.

5. A Welsh stew, named Cawl and containing lamb and leeks, is traditionally consumed on St. David’s Day.
6. Across Wales on Mar 1 St. David’s Day parades take place, and in bigger cities food festivals, concerts and street parties also occur.
7. 2009 saw the inaugural St. David’s Week festival in Swansea, a week-long event featuring music, sporting and cultural events.
8. Bizarrely, Disney's Mickey and Minnie will turn Welsh this week when the St David's Welsh Festival at Disneyland Paris begins.
9. X Factor finalist Rhydian Roberts will perform in Swansea alongside the Chamber Orchestra of Wales and the Morriston Orpheus Choir to celebrate St. David’s Day.
10. Despite the fact that Saint David abstained from drinking and advised others to do the same, a number of Welsh breweries make special St. David’s Day ales. Cardiff brewers Brains describe theirs as ‘a light, daffodil coloured ale, dry hopped with Styrian Goldings to create a thirst quenching spring ale with a refreshing bite and dry hop aroma.’

A New Government for Ireland?

Unite trade union says Left government can be formed with Sinn Féin

Jimmy Kelly: ‘We can produce a legacy of genuine alternative views’

THE Unite trade union has urged people to vote to elect a left-wing government for the first time in Irish history. The union, the second largest in the state and a Labour Party affiliate, has also called on Labour to go into coalition with Sinn Féin and other Left parties and “progressive Independents” to make this happen.

“A vote for Fine Gael is a vote for more Fianna Fáil policies,” Unite the Union said. “There is nothing to be gained by helping Fine Gael back into office.”

Unite is encouraging the Labour Party to “look Left for coalition partners rather than to the old order of Fine Gael”, which it described as Fianna Fáil’s “political half-brothers”.

Jimmy Kelly, Regional Secretary of Unite the Union, said:

“The Left has never been stronger. Recent polls put the combined strength of the Labour Party and Sinn Féin at 40%. This is substantially higher than either of the right-wing parties.

“With the support of other Left parties and progressive Independents, a Left government is now a distinct possibility.”

The leading trade union activist added:

“We need to remove Fianna Fáil from government and keep their political half-brothers, Fine Gael, out too.

“A vote for Fine Gael is a vote for more Fianna Fáil policies.

“They will support massive cuts to public services, privatisation, more job losses across all sectors and social welfare cuts.

“There is nothing to be gained by helping Fine Gael back into office.”

The Unite spokesperson said that competition for votes and seats between Left parties is to be expected but:

“We should remember that progressives have more in common with each other than they do with either of the Civil War parties.

“For the first time we have an opportunity to move away from out-of-touch and outdated politics based on history rather than ideology.

“We can produce a legacy of genuine alternative views between Right and Left, social democracy and neo-liberalism.

“Right-wing politics based on the markets has failed utterly.

Unite will be calling on its members, trade unionists and all workers to use their votes to maximise left-wing seats. We urge them to vote for, and transfer to, left-wing candidates.

“The electorate will decide what the next government will be.

“We all have an opportunity to elect the first Left government in the history of the state.”
