It has come to our attention that Caleb McCarry, appointed by George
Bush as °transition co-ordinator" for Cuba, will be speaking in Dublin
on Monday next, 30 April, at 1:30 p.m. in the National University of
Ireland, Dublin (Belfield).

This individual should be confronted head on, and the Irish
academics who invited him also need to be made aware that they are giving a platform to a person who wishes to install a puppet government in Cuba.

Joan Collins is standing as an independent socialist in the coming general election. She was elected to Dublin City Council as an Anti-Bin-Tax Councillor. She is determined to present a real alternative to the people of South Central. She is part of and supported by the Community & Workers Action Group (CWAG), and by the Development Action Group (DAG).
Also speaking at the launch meeting was Brid Smith of the People Before Profit Alliance, who is standing in the Ballyfermot area of the constituency. We are calling for a Number 1 vote for Joan Collins; and a Number 2 for Brid Smith.
The CIL is asking people who want a genuine alternative to get involved in Joan's election campaign. We also call for all socialist and community activists to support and vote for anti-coalition leftwing candidates, including Joan Collins and Seamus Healy TD, the people Before Profit Alliance candidates, the Socialist Party candidates, the ISN candidate and Catherine Conolly in Galway. read full story / add a comment

Would this by any chance be connected to the forthcoming election? You can bet on it. It would have been interesting to see what form of casuistry they had come up with to justify this callous and discriminatory judgment. read full story / add a comment
