History repeats itself for the Labour Party in the Meath East Bye Election 2013. Just under thirty years ago the Labour Party was humiliated in a Bye election in the Dublin Central constituency against a political background uncannily reminiscent to the present day. The vacancy was occasioned by the sudden death of former Fianna Fail Minister, George Colley.
The Socialist Party supported last Saturday’s Pride parade in Dublin, standing in solidarity with the LGBT community in fighting for true equality. Here is the message distributed on the day.

There are widespread media reports today that the government will attempt to impose water charges on households in the report of the Commission on Taxation.
The Socialist Party is issuing a strong warning to the government that any attempt to re-introduce water charges will be met by a mass non-payment campaign to make this double tax uncollectible.
