It's easy get people to turn out for a health rally, I'd have turned up myself only for the sight of all those Sinn Féin Nua people would have made me sick. Fair dues anyway for highlighting the bad state of our health service which has been struck down with an long-standing illness - let's hope it's not terminal!
Save all hospitals inside/outside the Pale.
Sláinte!
Some more pictures of the demo about saving the various regional hospitals from closure due to the neo-liberal policies pushed by the government but ultimately driven by the demands of capitalists whose aim is to privatise the service entirely.

It's great to see an organisation that spent so many years putting people into hospital actively take time out to try and improve services.
There are more photos on the Dublin Sinn Féin website. Link below.
The SWP might not underplay numbers for their own marches or an IAWM/People Before Profit march, but one might raise a small question about their reporting of numbers of a political party they consider themselves rivals of and whom they regularly, and at best with semi-accuracy, attack in their newspaper.
An SWP source told me that the turnout was about 1,000 - SWP aren't known for underplaying numbers at a demo - so I would take that as fairly accurate.
What are they campaigning about? Why don't they read the excellent article by former Taoiseach and highly-regarded statistician, Dr. Garret Fitzgerald, in Saturday's Irish Times? He points out in the article that since 2000 death rates in Ireland have been falling at an unprecedented rate, that death rates are falling faster in Ireland than in any other EU country and that Ireland now has one of the lowest death rates in the EU. The countries with the highest death rates are those which have had long periods of socialist government.

Just told that the Gardaí and RTE claimed a thousand, so it's probably closer to two.
It was a lot bigger than 600. 104FM were reporting two and a half to three thousand but I think that was over the top. I'd say there was around 2,000 there.
I reckon the attendance was about 600 or more. Looked bigger than the recent anti-war march. The Shinners can mobilise, but then this is an issue that really brings people out.
