Environmental activist to speak during National Organic Week

Famous environmental campaigner and activist Brockovich is to

speak at an event celebrating Ireland's National Organic week. The

talk, which will be held in UCD on the 20th of September, is being

organised by Irish organic dairy company Glenisk, and will focus on

the role and future of organic food and the environment.

Brockovich, who was the subject of an -winning film in which she

was portrayed by actress , has been renowned for her

campaigns on environmental issues since she secured $333 million in

damages for Californian residents who had been exposed to toxic waste

from a local power station.

" We are delighted to welcome Brockovich to Dublin for what we

now well be an engaging, thought-provoking and entertaining event, "

said Cleary, Glenisk managing director. " At Glenisk, we share

Ms Brockovich's passion for environmental activism and we admire her

commitment to pursuing justice for others. "

The event is open to the public and tickets can be purchased from

Ticketmaster. All proceeds are being donated to the GM-free Ireland

Network; an NGO which campaigns to keep genetically modified

organisms out of the Irish market.
