Public meeting Cork Where: Spailpin Fanac When: Saturday April 6th At: 2.30pm

SOCIALIST YOUTH has invited Socialist Party candidate, Mick Barry, to tell us why the Socialist Party is standing in the general election and to ask SOCIALIST YOUTH for help in the contesting the election campaign.

As Mick is the only socialist candidate standing, it is important that the Socialist Party is supported. We will be putting forward an alternative to the right wing, pro-capitalist anti-asylum seeker candidates. It is important that we argue for this alternative and try to bring our ideas and politics to as wide a layer of people as possible. It is important, I would argue, that SY members, who have been playing a serious and active role in building that alternative through our work since Sept 2000, to play a role and show young that there is an alternative.
