Galway Branch of the Socialist Workers Party have strongly condemned a poem by Kevin Higgins.

The poem, ‘Firewood’, was apparently a response to an article in Socialist Worker about the crisis in Darfur.

The book is, word has it, causing much weeping and gnashing of teeth on parts of the Galway left.
