Workers Party speaker donounces EU in a powerful speech and says that we have nothing to thank the EU for

Workers Party speaker Andrew in a hard hitting speech pointed out that the Working class has nothing to be thankful to the EU for. Other speakers included Joe Higgins and the SWP and Colm Breathnach from the ISN, recently returned from Palestine, who strongly denounced Irish Times liberals who were nowhere to be seen when anti racist work is being done but who cynically harangue the left about Barrett. Other speeches focussing mainly on neutrality but somewhat steering clear and weaker on economic criticisms were also made by the Greens and Sinn Fein.
It was positive to see them all sharing a platform and mostly agreeing on such an issue as Nice for a change.
