Éirígí candidate for the Upper Falls area in May’s Six County local government elections Pádraic MacCoitir has slammed British government proposals to slash corporation tax in the North.

Éirígí representative in the Lower Falls area John McCusker has demanded that the Stormont executive provide funding to ensure the continuation of the Integrated Services for Children and Young People initiative in West Belfast after March 2011.

A sustained series of attacks are under way in the Six Counties. They are attacks that will be targeted at the vast majority of the population, that will have no result other than to drive people into despair and misery and, yet, will be justified by their proponents through the avenue of every single major media outlet.

Rúnaí ginearálta Éirígí Breandán Mac Cionnaith has called on the establishment parties at Stormont to let the British government do its own dirty work in relation to the stripping of public services.

Hundreds of students and school-children took to streets of Belfast and Derry on consecutive days this week during protests organised in opposition to proposed increases which could see university fees rise to £9,000 [€10,800] annually.
