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.
