Thats something you don't often see. Modern Republicanism and its inherent reformism being linked with the Trade Unions and their agreements with the wealthy elite. Could be an interesting night. Who organised it?

Looks interesting is right, would think that former hunger striker and IWU spokesperson Tommy McKearney
and RSF vice president and SIPTU Shop steward Des Dalton would be fine additions to this line up. If that is
possible Hope it goes well and please post a report of how it goes.
