John McCarthy – Mad Pride Ireland
John says: “Mad Pride Ireland has gone nuts. We are everywhere, we are being covered on Radio, TV regional and national newspapers. We are now an annual event by invitation of Cork City Council. We are by invitation of Tullamore town council an annual event in August. We are planning to go to Galway, Dublin and Belfast next year. More later!!
Stephen Fry twittered us we had 95,000 hits whatever that means.
McCarthy consulting and Goldifish events do all the work; John takes all the credit; that is he believes; very fair.
This has simply been a fantastic event we have had 40,000 people at our events to date. We had an estimated 16,000 in Cork this year (that is half the attendance at electric picnic). Not bad from a standing start 3 years ago (and our budget we gladly do it for buttons).
Stigma based on fear, ignorance and prejudice simply has to STOP.
We have been instrumental in stirring up a debate in and around mental health from a compeletly different perspective, check out www.delete59b.wordpress.com. Questions are being asked, answers are being demanded. Force as a treatment is a breach of human rights it simply has to stop. We are still forcing our citizens to take ECT against their will what does that say of our society?”
