Jump To Comment: 1 2Brian O'Mahony the Chairman of the Irish Haemophilia Society, Positive Action and
Transfusion Positive, are doing far more to expose Mac the knife McDowell and his bosses the drugs corporations than the SWP, globalise resistance the labour party and indeed the entire anti globalisation movement put together.
I suppose a vacuum will eventually be filled and while groups such as Globalise Resistance and the SWP tried in a fashion to provide leadership to the anti globalisation movement in Ireland, let us not forget groups such as the sp and sf who have done zilch to build an anti globalisation movement, these groups have a lot to answer for by doing nothing which is as bad or worse as trying to do something and failing.
