Dear Comrades,
We urgently need letters
of support for our Irish comrades Socialist Party MP Joe Higgins and Councillor Clare Daly, members of the sister organisation of the Socialist Party in England and Wales,
who were sent to Mountjoy Prison today, while organising a campaign against the
iniquitous bin tax.
Councillor Clare Daly said at a press
conference yesterday:
"While we were in the High Court on
Wednesday the people of Cabra and Rivervalley blocked three more bin trucks.
That's the real story here, ordinary people protesting against the
non-collection of rubbish by unelected and undemocratic County Council
bureaucrats.
I have a mandate from the thousands of
non-payers and from the voters who elected me to campaign to get the bin tax
scrapped. Threatening people with jail won't stop the protests. We will stand
by the thousands in the communities".
We urgently need letters of support for
the Irish comrades.
The letters can be sent to the Irish
centre in Dublin 'Middle Abbey Publications Ltd, 141 Thomas St, Dublin 8,
Ireland. Email them at dublinsp@clubi.ie
