The man is in a corner, his party in a hole, the opposition lining up to take on the government’s toxic debts
and Ireland once again is in an economic shithole that was brought about by political representatives who neither knew how to spend wisely nor how to manage properly, in case of a rainy day, the state’s finances. Joe Higgins was a total gobeen for telling us that we were on a slide to disaster, while David McWilliams was criticised by everybody and anybody who proudly professed their expertise in the financial affairs of the state. read full story / add a comment

kerry / education / press release Sunday February 08, 2009 20:02 by peopleB4profit tralee
The government’s cutbacks in education will have a drastic effect on Primary schools in Tralee. People Before Profit support local demands for their reversal.

Scoil Eoin, which will have over 600 students next year, will lose one teacher as a direct result of the increase in class sizes and will face cutbacks in language support staff which will have a severe impact on students for whom English is not their first language. In addition three quarters of its students are studying in prefabs and in a building dating back to 1858! They are still waiting for a new school.

galway / miscellaneous / press release Friday February 06, 2009 12:55 by Volunteer
As the country gears up for increasing economic and social pressures, Ireland is likely to see a rise in campaigning from people of all walks of life. This coupled with the increased awareness of our responsibilities to be active citizens, has inspired two Galway based agencies to join forces in creating a new Advocacy Internship programme.

SpunOut.ie, the Galway based national youth charity and the Community Knowledge Initiative at NUIG are launching the new Advocacy Internship programme to give young people an opportunity to work on promoting activism, awareness and civic engagement in the community and to encourage others to get involved in creating positive change.

Dublin Bus is slated to see huge cuts in both staff and services. As many as 290 workers and 100 buses will be cut. This means fewer routes and less frequent service. If the Dublin Bus workers go on strike, it will mean an inconvenience for a few days. However, if they take action and force the company to back down, it will in the long run save us all time and money and will help the environment. It will also serve as a message to the politicians. If they want cuts, they can start by tightening the belts at the top, not the bottom. The politicians are giving bailouts to bankers while they hand out cuts to workers and commuters. It's clear where the money to support public services should come from. It should come from the people who created the crisis!
