In a statement today (Tuesday 20th December), Richard Boyd Barrett TD and Finance spokesperson for the United Left Alliance has pledged support for today’s strike by 300 EBS workers, who are demanding the re-instatement of their annual “13th month” payment.
Deputy Boyd Barrett who first raised the issue in the Dail last week will visit the picket lines of the EBS workers this morning to show his support for the strikers.
United Left Alliance Rally RESIST THE BUDGET- SOCIETY BEFORE BONDHOLDERS 8pm, Tuesday 13th December Speakers: United Left TDs Followed by social afterwards
This is a mean and cruel budget. Once again, it is those on low to middle incomes, and the poor who will take the biggest hit, people who bear no responsibility for the economic crisis caused by the greed of a wealthy elite. Writes Joan Collins TD, People Before Profit/United Left Alliance
Residents of Priory Hall staged protest outside the Dail on Nov 29 – and will be back again to protest against the budget on Dec 6. They are calling for action to ensure their apartments are refurbished promptly; and to ensure that they don’t have to pay both the mortgages on the apartments and the cost of emergency accommodation. The High Court recently ruled that Dublin City Council should cover the costs of accommodation, but the Council has challenged that ruling in the Supreme Court. So the residents are stuck – not knowing when they will get their homes back or who will pay for emergency accommodation.
This is yet another example of the problems arising from the building boom. Developers got away with putting up sub-standard buildings due to inadequate regulation and insufficient numbers of building inspectors – a toxic combination of cowboys and government de-regulation. Home-owners and residents are now carrying the can for this.
