Contents this issue include:
-The Occupy Movement in North America and an analysis of local developments such as the Occupation of the former BoI building in Belfast City Centre.
-The activism undertaken on the local level to put pressure on Fingal County Council through the Mulhuddart Against Sewage Campaign
-The need for the unemployed to organise against the class assault being carried out under the guise of ‘Welfare Reform’ by those tasked with ‘Social Development’ in the North and ‘Social Protection’ in the South.
-The cuts, closures and privatisation of the Health Service
-The Classism behind the continuation of academic selection
-The O’Reilly connection to the Corrib Gas controversy
-Costello, Connolly and Ó Cadhain in their own words
I make no comment on the contents, as I obviously haven’t seen them, but that cover is one of the ugliest bits of graphic design I’ve seen in ages. It is hideous.
Yes. Mark. A united front on good design, you and me.
Classism in academic selection? I wonder what they mean. Must be the North.
Can you purchase this magazine in Dublin city?
I was in Dublin last Saturday and I didn’t see TSP in either
Connolly Books or Books Upstairs. Maybe call into the
IRSP’s offices and ask for a copy?
There’s an IRSP office in Dublin?
Some of the newspaper sellers on O’Connell Street used to stock IRSP stuff a few years ago – I think the guy with the bigger stall between Easons & GPO did – possibly still does, so try there.
