Lucinda Creighton challenges ‘cancel culture’ in address at pro-life dinner
Over 600 people attended the annual Ceiliúradh Cois Life dinner last weekend in Dublin’s Aviva Stadium.
Proceeds from the event fund programmes for young people run by the Pro Life Campaign, like the Future Leaders Programme and Students for Life, as well as projects that assist pregnant and new mothers in need.
The former Minister for European Affairs, Lucinda Creighton, was the guest speaker at this year’s dinner where she received an enthusiastic welcome from attendees.
In her keynote address, she challenged the conformism that “has taken an unnatural hold on Irish society.” She took issue with the tendency of those in positions of power today to control public discourse and shut down dissenting voices. She said many of the same people who talk about the “tyranny” and “subverience” of “old Ireland” are themselves promoters of a society that has become “a self censoring receptacle of bland conformist ideas.”
A huge thank you to everyone who joined us for this year’s dinner. It was an amazing evening and a real sign of hope for the future.
