The scheduled Drop Haiti’s Debt gig for Thursday night in Vicar Street has now been cancelled.
The organisers had this to say:
Due to unavoidable circumstances the Drop Haiti’s Debt gig this Thursday in Vicar Street has been cancelled. A full refund for tickets purchased is available from the point of purchase.
On a hugely positive note, at the G7 summit in Canada last weekend, world leaders indicated they are prepared to drop Haiti’s debt in its entirety in the imminent future. Full information on the status of Haiti’s debt will be posted on trocaire.org shortly.

The current outpouring of donations to aid the people of Haiti in the wake of last month’s devastating earthquake will certainly benefit them in the short term. However, the country is also faced with a crippling national debt accrued after years of mismanagement by a string of corrupt dictators. Today the figure stands at $890 million, with millions due to be repaid this year alone. This debt will seriously affect the country for decades to come. Ciara Gaynor, head of campaigns at Trócaire, said that “it will take decades for Haiti to recover from the earthquake. The country must not be faced with the additional massive burden of debt repayments. Any emergency earthquake assistance must be in the form of grants, not loans, which will only increase Haiti’s debt burden in...
