Socialist Forum

The Politics of Privatisation

Speaker: KIERAN ALLEN
(Author: The Celtic Tiger: The Myth of Social Partnership)

Red Parrot, Dorset St
Monday 31st January
8pm

The government has suggested privatizing the ESB even though the experience in California has shown that privatization leads to black outs and dearer prices.
A present it is trying to impose bin charges Dublin. Once they get through it will lead to privatisation – and the removal of the waiver system.
Everywhere the same arguments are used to justify privatization. It is supposed to lead to more efficiency. It is supposed to be better for the customer.
At this meeting, Kieran Allen looks at the experience of privatization internationally and argues that the opposite is the case.
Privatization leads to a worse service, under-investment in vital resources, corruption and super-profits. read full story / add a comment

Many people will now be aware that Padraigin Drinan, the committed human rights lawyer is being shut down by the Law Society.
A campaign has now been launched by some of us who are deeply deeply concerned about the actions of the Law Society. We aim to pull together those who are clients of the office and those who have worked with Padraigin over the years and more importantly those who are committed to the same rights and freedoms and principles that Padraigin has been defending for the last thirty odd years.
This decisision to close Padraigin's office is a disgrace and an indictment of a cowardly, vindictive body who have long had the knife out for the human rights solicitor. read full story / add a comment
