There was a small enough turnout as per usual at this years May Day demonstration. Though suprisingly there was a very visible contingent of communists.
There were banners from several unions, ICTU Youth, Socialist Party, Labour Youth, Sinn Fein, Workers Solidarity, Belfast Trades Council, Dublin Trades Council, Labour Party, Campaign for an independent left, community and workers action group, boycott killer coke campaign, residents against racism and a very impressive banner from Aer Lingus workers. There was also an anti war contingent.
In a marked change of times there was no visible SWP presence (they used to have by far the largest contingents on these marches) though a couple of their members were along.
