Socialist Party Press Release -Presidential Election

Question is not whether there should be an Election; It's whether there should be a Presidency
By Joe Higgins TD

The fact that the bigger Parties in Dáil Éireann are not to put forward candidates for a Presidential Election expresses just how important this office is. The question now is not whether there should be an Election; it's whether there should be a Presidency. Quite clearly, the Presidency is a superfluous office and should be abolished. Talk about the President being able to reach out to the marginalised etc., should be exposed for the cant it is. What groups marginalised by capitalist society need is not symbolic gestures but real changes in policies that affect them and real investment of resources in areas of need.

The third annual Diversity Day festival happened yesterday at Bishop Lucey Park (aka ‘the peace park’) in Cork yesterday, the 19th of September, and was widely acclaimed as a success. There was a wide variety of acts and exhibitors, and a crowd in the hundreds lapped up the entrtainment and informative stalls provided free of charge by the participants. There were hassles with insurance and with the access to the park, but all in all it was a successful third festival. Here's hoping that Diversity Day will continue to flourish long into the future! read full story / add a comment
