- 12,000-15,000 people deliver a strong message
12,000-15,000 people marched through Dublin yesterday (September 30th) to protest at big cuts this year to community resources and the threat of massive further cuts. Related Links: Social Solidarity Network - Building a Network of Resistance: Invitation to meeting Sat 3rd Oct http://indymedia.ie/article/93882
Community development work aims to give people a voice, encourage people to participate in society and to take collective action. The cutbacks combined with the work of community people on the ground and trade unionists seeking action have prompted people to do all three. Yesterday (September 30th) between 12,000 and 15,000 people protested in Dublin against Community cutbacks.

The concept is one in which government policies are instituted with the effect (deliberate or otherwise) of systematically increasing the wealth gap between the rich and the poor while increasing the power of the rich and decreasing the power of the poor (also see wealth condensation). This effect is considered to be similar to the effects of traditional feudalism.

Um pardon me if I am wrong, but 20 years ago were we not objecting to public funding of community based projects as a "cheap bargain bin" alternative to providing real, permanent and properly funded public services?
Many of these services were only sticking plaster solutions in the first place that should have been placed in proper public ownership.
"€1BILLION would keep John O'Donoghue travelling in the style he enjoyed as minister for 10,000 years'. Economics Professor Karl Whelan in the Irish Times Oct 2. and we propose to give a multiple of this to failed banks.This is economic and social lunacy on Stilts.
They are building a highway from Lodz to Warsaw using chinese workers at €1 per hour. Helena Gronkewicz former head of European Investment Bank said this is a new and exciting development in free market capitalism.
Please call your local FF/Green TD and ask them to answer a simple yes/no-Are they voting for NAMA? Yes/No
Enough calls will rattle their cages.
Irish Society and Politics - Decadent - Decadent societies are often prosperous but usually have severe social and economic inequality, to such a degree that the upper class becomes either complacent or greedy, while the lower classes become hopeless and apathetic. The middle class may exhibit either or both patterns, or it may vanish entirely. Poor leadership is generally held to be both a cause and a symptom of decadence, as the lifestyle of a decadent individual is usually considered to be incompatible with responsibility.
