2 navy blue and white SADD campaign postcards. The front has an old map of the city centre showing Batchelors Walk with the title 'S.A.V.V. Don't destroy the central river bank of Ireland' and the back has a prewritten letter for either Taoiseach Charles Haughey or Minister of the Environment Padraig Flynn asking them to protect the area.
In 1988, a group called Students Against the Destruction of Dublin produced these postcards for citizens to send the Taoiseach and Minister of the Environment to oppose the redevelopment of Bachelor’s Walk, which contains some of the most important early 18th Century houses in Dublin. At the time, buildings were being acquired by a development company, and the postcards urge the government to ensure that any development preserved the buildings.
