Newbridge Post Office
Today is Europe Day, Friday, May 9, which marks eighty years since the official end of World War II in Europe.
"That terrible war took the lives of over 60 million people. The European Peace Project have invited people all across Europe to read their Manifesto for Peace in their homes and in public places at 4pm today – creating a united voice across Europe, calling for peace on our continent," said the organisers.
Irish peace initiative, Lex Innocentium, 21 st Century, will read the Manifesto for Peace, in both Irish and English, at the GPO in O’Connell Street, Dublin, at the Post Office in Newbridge, and at other venues at 4p.m.

"Please join us. We are calling for an end to war in Europe, and across the world, for the resolution of international conflicts through peaceful arbitration and negotiation (in line with Article 29 of our Constitution), and for an end to the waste of huge amounts of money and resources on war and militarization that would be better used to improve the wellbeing of humanity and the protection of our planet."
