Another Ireland is Possible Conference

Ireland is experiencing the worst housing and homelessness crisis in its history. Healthcare waiting lists are at an all time high. We have among the highest prevalence of low pay and insecure work in the world. Our school class sizes are among the highest in the EU. And our political system is rife with corruption and scandals. But it doesn't have to be this way.

The Right2Change Trade Unions (Communications Workers' Union, Mandate Trade Union, OPATSI and Unite the Union) are calling a conference of trade unionists, political activists and community activists to establish whether a coordinated fight-back through cooperation can be established.

We believe another Ireland is possible and we are encouraging everyone else who shares a vision for a fairer, more equal Ireland to join us on Saturday, 4th November 2017 to discuss a pathway towards achieving a truly egalitarian Republic.

Speakers include:

• Winnie Wong from the "People for Bernie Sanders" campaign
• Professor Cecile Wright from 'Momentum' in the UK
• Emma Avilés Thurlow from the 15M/Indignados movement in Spain

Also speaking at the event will be: Kitty Holland (Irish Times), Dr Conor McCabe (author, 'Sins of the Father'), Dr Rory Hearne (lecturer, Maynooth University) Dr Steve Baker (University of Ulster) and Tom Healy (Director of the Nevin Economic Research Institute (NERI)).

Also, community speakers from Right2Water, Decency for Dunnes Workers and a homelessness campaigner.
