During the late 1980’s, the Sandinistas were consolidating the revolution in Nicaragua, the FMLN were on the brink of overthrowing the government in El Salvador and the radical movements in Guatemala and Honduras were gaining ground.

Barney Hartnett is a Socialist. He is also an active member of his union. In Ballymun on the north side of Dublin he has been editor of the local community paper "The Ballymun Echo" for over 22 years. Barney is also a member of the Retired Workers Committee of Congress. In the April election of last year he was only one vote short of being elected to the Executive Committee. Barney will fight for a fair deal for all senior citizens. His record proves he is the man for the job. Pensioners who are dissatisfied with the recent budget increase of a miserable €12 per week should vote for Barney Hartnett for the Executive Committee.
