Assembly parties deliver cuts and sectarianism
After the general election and the looming cuts facing Northern Ireland these series of articles bring together the Socialist Party’s analysis of what is happening both inside and outside the Assembly.
They also deal with the character of the dissident groups and the dangers of increasing sectarianism in society.
Some these articles also point to the massive attacks on the public sector being implemented with the consent of all the Executive parties and the prospect for united struggles of workers and young people.

Socialist writings on Ireland and the national question
There was an emphatic response to the savagery of the Con Dem spending cuts on Saturday in Edinburgh. Just 3 days after the government’s spending review that had proposed cuts of £81 billion in public spending, well over 20,000 people took to the streets for the Scottish TUC demonstration.
The decision by the Western Health Trust to cut nursing home places “is a direct attack on the elderly and the vulnerable” according to Domhnall O’Cobhthaigh, Fermanagh Socialist Party representative.
