As part of the general offensive against working people worldwide, the US corporations and their city, state and federal governments are trying to eradicate Section 8.

Last Saturday afternoon (14/8/04), up to 15 gardai descended on a lone Traveller family, whose trailer was parked just off the South Link Road in Cork City. When the gardai threatened to have the trailer towed away, the mother locked herself into it to prevent it being moved.
