Its 32 pages long and aside from the cover I’ve also included the Summary page which outlines the problem and solution. In 1996 the Progressive Democrats were in Opposition and there were 230,000 people out of work.

From circa 1979 a leaflet produced by the Ballymun Branch of The Labour Party to Labour Councillors and Tenants of Ballymun. The leaflet contains a statement by the local branch of the Labour party criticising the decision to increase heating charges in the Ballymun Estate.
The statement makes a number of points.
Tenants are supposed to have heating for nine months of the year but this is not always the case.
Tenants have no choice but to use the heating
The increase will send some tenants into rent arrears
Finally it points out that rents paid by Corporation Tenants are going to swell the profits of banks and financiers.
