Speaking at the launch of the alliance’s byelection campaign in Dublin West, for Socialist Party/ULA candidate Cllr Ruth Coppinger, United Left Alliance TD, Richard Boyd Barrett, claimed the Government had quickly learned the arts of “spin and disingenuity” to cover up its true agenda of cuts. Hospital emergency departments were being closed in the name of “health and safety”, council housing was being phased out ostensibly in favour of voluntary housing and it was “the same” with the comprehensive spending review, he said.
