Pavee Point welcomes the hard evidence in Census 2016 figures released Thurs 12th Oct of the continuing inequalities faced by Irish Travellers.

?These inequalities cannot continue to be ignored,? said Ronnie Fay, Co Director Pavee Point.

?These figures show the huge gaps that continue to exist in Traveller health, education, employment and accommodation.?

?Travellers are dying 6 times younger and are poorer educated than the general population. With low education achievement it?s no surprise we?re living with an 80% unemployment figure,?? said Martin Collins Co Director, Pavee Point.

Haunting the future
The ReBirth of Marxism: Haunting the Future

National University of Ireland Maynooth, 4 ? 5 May 2018
Call for papers

In his play Marx in Soho, Howard Zinn has Marx ask ?Don?t you wonder why it is necessary to proclaim me dead, again and again??

May 5, 2018 will be Marx?s 200th anniversary ? one among many anniversaries which remind us of Marx and Engels? long-lasting impact on the modern world. As we send this out, we are sandwiched between the 150th anniversary of Capital and the 100th of what Gramsci called a ?Revolution against Capital? in Russia. Our conference includes the May Day bank holiday, celebrated by the traditional labour movement ? but it also marks the 50th anniversary of the start of ?May 1968? in Paris, while ?Ireland?s 1968? is sometimes dated to the violent suppression of a civil rights demonstration in Derry, five months later.

Recent discussions about the safety or otherwise of having the US military flying in and out of Shannon Airport gave us reason to recall an incident in March 2008 in which a Murray Air aircraft was involved in an emergency landing at Shannon. This was after it was seen flying over Askeaton, which is across the River Shannon estuary from the airport, with flames coming from one of its engines. Residents of the County Limerick town described their windows rattling and houses shaking as the cargo plane flew low over a housing estate in the town.

This week in the Oireachtas workers on insecure hour contracts became collateral damage in a cynical game of power play politics by the government. A disgraceful ploy to block the David Cullinane TD sponsored Banded Hours Contract Bill was concocted by raising a spurious money message mechanism which government conveniently uses to halt the progress of opposition bills that have a genuine chance of succeeding in the Dail.

On 14th October 2017, Rally for Choice will march through the streets of Belfast. - Last year saw us counter protest the Rally for Life in the North of Ireland, for the first time we marched against their lies instead of our usual static demo. Our counter protest was a huge success, despite being organised at short notice and with only a handful of activists. The protest burst across our streets and convened at Buoy Park afterwards for speakers. We outnumbered the Rally for Life 2016 significantly
