Why Are Electricity Bills Going Up? Mon Mar 17, 2025 09:00 | David Turver
Rising electricity bills aren't just about gas prices ? renewables' subsidies, grid costs and backup power are the real culprits, says David Turver. It's time to change course and abandon Net Zero.

Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9Isn't organising a march one hour before another march with similar demands kind of sectarian? Forget this SWP front, people should attend the Real Democracy Now/Occupy Dame street one at 2pm.
No, I'm a trade union member and part-time student and i wont be joining occupy march. Is the occupy march for students? I've seen their posters around UCD and TCD. The nonsense regarding trade unions has put me off. Good luck - there seems to be 3 marches that day - 2 to deal with student protests - how appropiate...
Regardless of any protest on that day - seriously what have u got to offer? A real reason to ignore socialism or anarchism (and lets face it, both groups need someone to hand out their leaflets- get with it - people want to know why they shud bother). The easiest reaction is to stay away from bith group parasites...
I won't be attending this march, here's why ( largley based on an eyewitness report by one of the #occupydamestreet participants - http://www.boomingback.org/2011/10/occupydamestreet-gru....html ) :
Members of a certain political party/front group who contribute nothing to #occupydamestreet turn up at the general Assembly > they spread themselves around the meeting > one of them then proposes something > the other members of the same party/front then say they also support the proposal (to make it look more popular) > they try to force a vote > theparty/front doesn't get support for their proposal > the party/front leaves without contributing anything > members the part/yfront then try to undermine the protest/movement they can't control.
It's a familiar story to those who've been around the political block.
Unfortunately it's these kind of actions which makes people hostile to the left as a whole (and gives fuel to woolly liberals) , rather than simply confining their hostility to groups who engage in this type of action.
marches get better attendance on weekends when people aren't at work. Its not surprising there are a few on a saturday. However, this is taking the piss somewhat.
Why not one big one rather than several ineffective small ones. Its almost as if this was a deliberate sabotage attempt. Either that or complete stupidity. Why can't we put issues to the fore on the left instead of parties. Look where that got us. Just have one march about the issue and invite everyone who says they care about the issue minus their political banners. Its time we had some left unity on issues instead of party based campaigns. What really matters here? the issue or the party?
If what the article kate refers to is correct, then the political parties in question should be ashamed of any concerted attempts to hijack the first grassroots movement that has gained traction for quite a while here.
If they really care, they should stand back and offer practical help from the sidelines because of common goals. The general message getting out will help their cause too, that should be enough.
To All Tainted Political organisations, If you really give a shit about the issues and not just pushing your parties then:
HANDS OFF OCCUPY DAME STREET (H.O.O.D.S.) !!!
Your damaged reputations will only kill off the momentum of a fledgling grassroots movement that could benefit us all.
the irish political acrobats are doing their legendary splits already.

it provides more information than your comment. Not a hard task.
There was probably somewhere between 600 to 1000 people at the march today against the IMF/ECB imposed cutbacks. The march set out from the Garden of Rememberance and went up by the Dail and finished outside govt offices on Merrion street opposite the Merrion Hotel.
