A Public Debate is to take place Tomorrow night (Wednesday February 25th) in The Plaza Hotel Tallaght at 20.00

The title is 'Public Sector and Private sector workers should not pay for the bosses crisis'

The speakers FOR have been confirmed and are - Cllr. Mick Murphy, Socialist Party, and Denis Keane of the CPSU (Personal capacity)

The Speakers AGAINST - We have contacted the Green Party, Fine Gael and South Dublin Chamber of Commerce and asked them to send a speaker along, hopefully they will turn up on the night.

So if you are concerned about the economy, and the feel that the ordinary PAYE worker is being unjustly targetted by the government, and want to hear the ideas people on both the left and the right have in relation to trying to tackle these problems, then you should come along!!

23 February 2009

The Waterford occupation has entered its fourth week. Workers at Waterford Crystals are fighting for their jobs after the Waterford Wedgwood Group went into receivership. Negotiations are still in progress as two rival companies Clarion Investments and KPS Capital Partners talk to the receiver and union officials about a possible purchase. As our leaflet on the march in Dublin pointed out either bidder will cut jobs that’s why we need nationalisation under workers control.

I put this up because I think it is a very significant statement from such a high profile person in such dodgy times. Student

'Our system for regulating markets and for prosecuting market crime is completely broken. If you mug someone in the street and you are caught, the chances are that you will go to prison.
