Tens of thousands have marched but the government is not listening. They have
given some concessions but once there is any water charge, it can always be
increased in future.
This government never got a mandate for its policies. The Labour Party was
elected on a promise to oppose water charges. So where is the democracy in all
of this?
We need to build a huge movement of peaceful protest and civil disobedience to
drive them from office. But we also need a real political alternative to the lies
and false promises of the political establishment.
• We need a new form of grassroots democracy where people have the right to
re-call representatives.
• We need to stop paying out €8 billion in interest to bondholders and start
investing in public services and jobs.
• We need to make the wealthy pay for the economic mess – not the poor and
middle income earners
A political earthquake is underway in I reland. The people have risen and are
looking for a real political alternative.
At this meeting, People Before Profit will outline our policies. But we also want to
listen. Come along and have your say on what is needed.
