The People Before Profit Alliance in Dundalk held a one hour protest outside the Minister for justice and Law Reform’s residence on Friday 15th of October. The alliance, composing members of the Dundalk community, held the protest outside Dermot Ahern’s Blackrock residence from five pm until six pm in an effort to highlight the closure of the accident and emergency services at Louth County hospital, which has been downgraded to a minor injuries clinic.
People Before Profit Alliance’s Eamonn McCann has called on Translink to “think again” on the plan to reduce the Derry-Dublin bus service. “Cutting the number
Budget protects the wealthy and contains no jobs
Unions must call general strike to allow public anger to be expressed
In a statement, the People Before Profit Alliance (PBPA) have described the budget delivered today by the Fianna Fail Green government as a shameful attack on the vulnerable and least well-off in Irish society.
Cllr Joan Collins said
“This budget of many cuts will be a step too far for many families. With attacks on social welfare, the minimum wage, child benefit and training allowances and increases in taxes for the lower paid, workers and the unemployed will be faced with stark choices. It has become increasingly difficult to pay all the bills, feed the family and get the kids educated. This heartless government have made the decision to drive more families and their children into poverty”
PBPA said that government claims about necessary “adjustments” to deal with the current economic and financial crisis were utterly dishonest spin to mask a deliberate and ruthless decision to make working people and the poor pay for the crisis, while protecting the super-wealthy and those responsible for the economic crash.

In a remote corner of the west of Ireland sits Broadhaven Bay. It is the perfect picture postcard, where the high cliffs of Erris Head and the Stags of Broadhaven stand sentry at the mouth of the bay against the mighty Atlantic, as if protecting the delicate golden sands of Glengad beach and the tiny village of Rossport which nestles behind the dunes.
However this peaceful tranquility belies the turmoil that lies beneath, and the unique nature of the coastline which has sustained generations of farmers and fishermen, has also delivered to Shell Oil the perfect landfall for the Corrib Gas Pipeline. In the most dramatic clash of cultures in modern Ireland, the rights of farmers over their fields, and of fishermen to their fishing grounds,
has come in direct conflict with one of the worlds most powerful oil companies. When the citizens look to their state for protection, they find that the state has put Shell’s right to lay a pipeline ahead of their own rights.
The Pipe is a story of a community tragically divided, and how they deal with a pipe that could bring economic prosperity or destruction of a way of life shared for generations.
The discovery of gas off this remote coastal village has led to the most dramatic clash of cultures in modern Ireland.
