Over four decades, Peter Hadden and the comrades in the North of Ireland campaigned for workers’ unity and a socialist alternative, developed a Marxist analysis of the conflict and the national question and elaborated socialist demands, policies and programme.

Peter’s pamphlets and articles, which mainly deal with Ireland but also regarding international and other political issues, will appear regularly on MIA over the next months. They are taken from the pages of the Irish Socialist Party’s past and current journals (Militant Irish Monthly, Militant, Socialist Voice and The Socialist), from other CWI publications and also from the Socialist Party’s website and other CWI sites. To date, the pamphlets, Divide and Rule (1980), Beyond the Troubles? (1994), Troubled Times: The National Question in Ireland (1995), The Struggle for Socialism Today (1999) and Towards Division Not Peace (1999) are some of the writings now available online.

The archive shows the consistent principled class postion regarding Ireland and the national question that has been developed and defended by the Socialist Party and the entire CWI. The archive is not just of historical interest but is very relevant to workers, youth and socialists in Ireland, and internationally, struggling to change society today.

Cutting medical secretaries causes X-ray backlog

Recent reports have uncovered a massive backlog of thousands of untyped x-ray reports in the Mater Hospital. This gives us a glimpse of what the cuts planned by the Belfast Health Trust management and the Assembly Executive will mean. The backlog was caused by a lack of medical secretaries to process the reports. Ridiculously, the Belfast Trust has threatened to slash 50 more of these workers, while cutting the pay of another 120!

40 years after Stonewall Riots…

STEP UP THE FIGHT FOR LGBT EQUALITY

This year marks an important fortieth anniversary for all who support equality for the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgendered (LGBT) community.

On 28 June 1969 the police raided the Stonewall Inn in New York. This in of itself was not unusual. This time however LGBT people fought back against the police over two nights of rioting. After the Stonewall riots those involved in fighting police harassment organised the Gay Liberation Front which united with socialist, anti-war, anti-racist and trade union activists in the fight for liberation including bravely organising the first gay pride events.
