Tuesday 7th December will see the imposition of yet another vicious budget to protect the wealthy 1% and make the rest of us pay for the crisis. The 1% network will be meeting up at the Wolfe Tone statue at 5.30pm to join the left bloc protest at the Dail at 6.

Meeting up 07 December · 17:30 – 18:00

In 2007, the richest 1% of the population owned 34% of the wealth. This October researcher Tom O’Connor showed that the total ‘net worth’ of the 33,000 Irish millionaires… is still a whopping €121billion.

It is both wrong and immoral that this 1% should hold onto such vast wealth while the rest of us face savage attacks on our living standards and on our public services. More importantly, this concentration of wealth in a tiny number of hands means that political power is also concentrated in the hands of this elite. If we wish to re-shape society and to build a new society based on equality and real democracy, we need to find a way to take political power away from the wealthy elite.

Cork Unemployed Occupy Zombie Anglo-Irish Bank

A campaign against social welfare cuts and the attack on the unemployed by the Government got underway in Cork earlier today with an occupation by 100 people of Anglo-Irish Bank. Arising from a march opposing the looming cuts, the Social Welfare Defence Campaign arrived at Anglo-Irish and proceeded to occupy the front reception of the Bank. - http://www.wsm.ie/c/cork-unemployed-occupy-anglo-irish-bank
