TCD students forced to vote on Coke and Nestle bans again

Far Right at it again.

The students of TCD have been hit with the news that once again we will have to fight the far right on the issue of the bans on the sale of coke and Nestle products in SU-run outlets

The referendum proposal, which has the backing of 350 students, is interesting in that it ties the fate of coca cola to that of nestle, by putting both bans on one ballot paper. The campaign is being organised by far-right Freedom Institute hack John McGuirk, and several members of Young Fine Gael.

It is absolutely imperative that the left in TCD band together to defeat this capitalist referendum, and send a message to the right that we will not accept their brand of corporate whoring in our college.
