Ireland and the politics of bigotry – Part Two Print E-mail
By Harry Whittaker   
Monday, 30 January 2012
William of Orange allied himself to two popes: Pope Innocent XI (1676/89) and Pope Alexander VIII (1689/91). These two Popes were more than happy to support William III in his fight against the Catholic James II, and he was equally happy to support them in their war against France’s Louis XIV.
 
Ireland and the politics of bigotry – Part One Print E-mail
By Harry Whittaker   
Monday, 30 January 2012
When the Irish Catholic priest Fr. Hugh O’Donnell decided it was time to build a Catholic church in Belfast he had a problem: it costs a lot of money to build a church. The Catholic population of Belfast was too small and too poor to provide enough money, so if he had to rely on the Catholics alone it would take forever. He had to seek help elsewhere. So he asked the Protestants of Belfast to help him out. As you do.
 
Ireland: emigration masks the unemployment crisis Print E-mail
By Tony Healy (Fightback Ireland)   
Sunday, 08 January 2012
There are many ways to judge the health of a society. The speculators in the European Bond Markets judge the health of nations by the state of their public finances; socialists and trade unionists point to the way that old people and children are treated and especially the position of women in society. Economists look at the volume of imports and exports and at the rate of economic growth.  One measure looks at the scale of inequality within society.
 
NOV 30: The North of Ireland flexes its muscles with public sector strike Print E-mail
By Martin Sweeney (Fightback Belfas   
Monday, 05 December 2011
While between 2 and 3 million struck in Britain, in the North of Ireland about 200,000 people took part in the Public Sector strike action on 30th November. Schools and civil service offices were shut, as were job centres and council services. Rail and bus services were non-existent. Union members held marches, pickets, and rallies throughout the country over the issue of pensions. The main rally took place in Belfast city centre, where around 15,000 gathered and several thousands spread over Craigavon, Omagh, Armagh, Ballymena, Derry and other towns.
 
NIPSA ballot result shows mood Print E-mail
By Fighback - Ireland   
Friday, 11 November 2011
Workers have not only been balloting for action in Britain but also in Northern Ireland, where the Tory-led Coalition's attacks on pensions will also apply if carried out. Fightback - the voice of Marxism in Ireland - reports on the ballot results in the North.
 
Ireland: Dublin West by-election – Labour wins but now the coalition must be broken! Print E-mail
By Fightback (Ireland)   
Friday, 04 November 2011
Last Thursday’s by election in Dublin West came down to a three horse race between Councillor Patrick Nulty of Labour who won and Councillor Ruth Coppinger of the Socialist Party who came third, while Fianna Fáil (FF) squeezed into second place after a tie for second and third place – on the basis that they had more first preference votes.
 
N. Ireland: Free Marian Price! Print E-mail
By Tony Healy (Fightback Ireland)   
Thursday, 13 October 2011
The decision of the Secretary Of State to revoke Marian Price’s release from prison has been met with widespread opposition from the Republican movement. The justification given was that the threat that she poses has “significantly increased” and that she had been encouraging support for an illegal organisation based on her involvement in an Easter comm
 
NORTHERN IRELAND:UNISON Health and Education strike Print E-mail
By Fightback - Ireland   
Tuesday, 04 October 2011
unison2.jpgThe 24 hour strike by UNISON members to defend Health and Education Services in Northern Ireland is an indication of the scale of the crisis in the public sector. But its also the most significant trade union struggle to hit the North since the onset of the current economic crisis.
 
The Ghost Estates of Ireland Print E-mail

IRELAND: After the "think ins," a bumpy ride ahead Print E-mail
By Tony Healy (www.ireland.marxist.com)   
Monday, 12 September 2011
According to press reports the Fine Gael and Labour parliamentary “think ins” this week were upbeat and confident. Although the Irish Times reports that both parties were warned “to brace themselves for the bumpy ride ahead”. There has been talk about Enda’s “honeymoon period” over the last few months. Although in large measure the new coalition is benefitting from not being Fianna Fáil or the Green Party, while Enda Kenny is doing well in the polls for being neither Brian Cowen nor Brian Lenihan.
 
IRELAND: Labour minister attacks unemployed youth. Print E-mail
By Fightback Editorial Board   
Tuesday, 19 July 2011
Last weekend in Ireland, a Labour minister used the Sunday press to launch an attack on unemployed youth. Readers here will recognise the same arguements she makes as those which have been made over the years by assorted Tories and Blairites in our own movement. They must be opposed. Fightback, the Irish Marxist voice, reports on this disgraceful attack.
 
NORTHERN IRELAND: Tensions rise again Print E-mail
By Séamus Loughlin (2nd July)   
Sunday, 03 July 2011
PSNI sources as saying that there was no “paramilitary” involvement in Friday night's rioting in Belfast's Castlereagh Street and Albertbridge Road, but it’s clear also that events a couple of weeks ago in the Short Strand have contributed to what looks like an explosive situation moving into the marching season, no matter whether the loyalists were there or not.
 
Irish economy inches forward... Print E-mail
By Tony Healy (Fightback - Ireland)   
Friday, 24 June 2011
Ireland: There have been a number of reports in today’s media that the Irish economy has grown by 1.3%. Although this is no bad thing, as it will help to rebuild the confidence of working people, the real picture is somewhat more complicated than the headlines might indicate on the first examination. Certainly any economic perspective that doesn’t make a sober assessment taking into account everything that is happening in Europe and particularly Greece just now will not stand up to much challenge.
 
Ireland: Short Strand – part of the world crisis Print E-mail
By Seamus Loughlin   
Wednesday, 22 June 2011
The UVF attacks on the Short Strand area of Belfast over the last days and the clashes between Catholic and Protestant youth demonstrate that despite the claims of the various ministers at Stormont, the underlying tensions and conflicts in the North have neither been resolved nor overcom
 
A year since Croke Park: Howlin promises more austerity Print E-mail
By Tony Healy (Fightback - Ireland)   
Thursday, 16 June 2011
IRELAND: The scenes broadcast from Athens will have sent a shiver down the spine of An Taoiseach, An Tánaiste and their counterparts throughout Europe. The reaction of the Greek workers to the meltdown in the Greek economy will be of particular concern in Leinster House. Ireland is not so far behind Greece and sooner or later Ireland will become the tail ender in the bond markets again, that is unless the Greek Government defaults and then all bets are off.
