'It is as important today, as it was in any other time in Irish history for those of us who understand, appreciate and uphold those beliefs enshrined in the Easter proclamation to renew our efforts and allegiance and continue to strive for a 32 County Republic. We must persevere to promote the only reasonable solution to the conflict in Ireland. The removal of the British presence and the implementation of the Éıre Nua program'. read full story / add a comment
national / anti-capitalism / opinion/analysis Monday April 13, 2009 01:24 by Richard Whelan
The system of economics which we have lived by for well over a decade has given us the many benefits of a booming economy- higher wages, a better standard of living, and an overall sense of happiness and well being. But what of those left behind? What of the multi-national companies, and profit driven banks, who take full advantage of the elitist and greedy philosophy of this system driven totally by profit? It's time to ask ourselves tough questions of the system we live under and how it affects us in our own lives, and in the lives of the most vulnerable in society. read full story / add a comment

national / miscellaneous / opinion/analysis Thursday April 09, 2009 21:54 by Éanna Dowling
Brian Lenihan’s emergency supplementary bludget brings the curtain down on Ireland’s pantomime of excess. The workforce in Ireland willingly accepted twelve years of wage slavery when the goodies compensated for the grind, and the illusion of perpetual growth became the powerful myth underpinning the new consumer religion.

More unreckonable years of wage slavery or welfare dependence await, as the personal and public debts accumulated during the boom must be paid for. read full story / add a comment

I want to argue that Fianna Fail has essentially cooked (and I mean boil rapidly) the books - insofar as their strategy to bring the deficit under control by 2013 rests on numbers that cannot work in the material world.

This might seem a bit academic but this will show in a way that no one else has done that deflation cannot work at any level - not at the level of arresting economic decline, job losses, living standards; and not even the deficit. This is the real debate - can deflation work? Fianna Fail's own bookeeping shows it can't.

Irish workers will bail out the bankers and the speculators following a decisive emergency budget. All workers will have reduced spending power as a result of tax increases while a new agency has been established to buy up “bad assets” with Government bonds. The income levy introduced in September has been doubled as has the health levy and minimum wage workers have been brought into the income tax system.

Take home pay will be reduced for all workers in May. The deficit between Government income and expenditure is massive due to the bursting of the property bubble, banking mismanagement and the policy of positioning the country as the most “open” economy in Europe. That policy ensured that Ireland would be the most vulnerable to fluctuations in the globalised economy. Government borrowing will be over 10% of national income this year, but the main source of income to fix the problem is the increase in direct personal taxation.
