Clare Daly ‘Autumn Newsletter’ (first since leaving Socialist Party) September 12, 2012
The first leaflet produced by ULA TD for Dublin North Clare Daly since her resignation from the Socialist Party. On her leaving the party…
Thanks to all my constituents, friends and colleagues who took the time to send messages of support during the recent vicious smear campaign following my resignation from the Socialist Party.
Less there be any doubt, this had nothing to do with any support for Mick Wallace’s company’s under declaration of VAT. I have clearly stated that this should not have happened and that the money should be repaid. An arrangement has been made in that regard. The Budget in December will contain further cuts in health, education, social welfare and council services, while taxes will be increased. No one will escape the coalition’s austerity agenda.As the only opposition TD in Dublin Fingal I will use that platform to step up the fight against government at a local and national level, with the same principle, passion and intensity as I have over the last 18 years. To that end I will work with the other ULA TDs and activists, to build it into a more campaigning and substantial force than it has been to date.
I will be hosting meetings in the coming weeks to outline plans for the future. If you are interested in working along side me on any issue or joining our team please see contact details below.

1988 Cork May Day Leaflet August 26, 2012
Many thanks to the sender who notes…
A leaflet advertising the Cork May Day rally 1988. It was produced by that year’s Cork May Day committee ….
The committee was set up under the auspices of Cork Council of Trade Unions. While the leaflet was funded by the ITGWU, the committee worked independently and organised one of the most successful May Day events in Cork up to that date.
Interestingly the issues covered in the leaflet are still with us today – unemployment, health cuts, the taxation system and the need to defend workers rights. The leaflet came less than a year after the first “partnership” deal so from a historical context it is quite interesting.
