A weekend of debate and discussion
6pm Friday 16th – Saturday 17th April
Wynn’s Hotel, Dublin
The Socialist Party has organised this weekend around important issues facing working people today. Governments across the globe have intervened to bail out banks and big business. These bail outs have been at the cost of workers’ wages, jobs and public services such as health and education. This weekend will discuss why there is an economic crisis and is there an alternative to the cuts
The event will also deal with other important issues like the huge threat posed to the planet by climate change and the ongoing crisis in the Catholic Church as a result of the child abuse scandals.
We think anyone concerned about the policies being imposed and where they will lead, or what passes for politics in this country should attend this event.

Seldom before has an idea spread so quickly across the world. Within days tens of millions watched Invisible Children’s “KONY 2012” video as it went viral across the internet and social media. Shocked at the story of killing, rape and child soldiers, demands multiplied that “something must be done” against Joseph Kony and the brutal Lord’s Resistance Army (LRA) he leads in eastern and central Africa.
Urgent protests needed
The Con-Dem chancellor, George Osborne, claims his budget (24 March) is the "most pro-growth budget for a generation". But the British economy is barely crawling along, and the budget will do nothing to promote growth.
