Pat Lawlor, West Belfast Socialist Party representative, said:
“This is a cynical move by Health Trust management, clearly aimed at cutting across members of the public attending our protest to voice their opposition to the cuts. We have received an excellent response in our campaigning work. There is huge anger among health workers and the community at the Trust’s austerity measures, which are cutting the service to the bone.”

“We will be going ahead with the protest to deliver our message loud and clear- these health cuts are rejected by the people of Belfast and are not necessary. And this picket will not be the end of our campaign. We have gathered further details of cuts the Trust plan to implement. We will do everything we can to highlight these cuts and continue to build opposition in the community.”

For many older African-American workers, this was viewed as the most important political event of their lives. Millions of young people gained a renewed sense of optimism after growing up with an instilled hatred against Bush and the Republicans.
