First ever netcast of Council Meeting in Ireland

32mins mp3 64kbps
http://radio.indymedia.org/uploads/rjs.dublincitycounci...a.mp3

In the above link will be heard excerpts from the "debate" on how best to sell Council flats to council tenants.

excerpts recorded at two random intervals.

About half way through, the outside demo against the bin tax begins to make itself heard.

Content of speeches is revealing. Only John Gallagher (Lab) questions the scheme outright.

List of speakers in order of hearing.

Michael Rafferty (Ind)
Mary Murphy (Lab)
Dathaí Doolin (SF)
Eric Byrne (Lab)
Deirdre Heney (FF)
Mary Fitzpatrick (FF)
John Gallagher (Lab)
Dessie Ellis (SF)
Joan Collins (Ind)
Tony Smithers (SF)

[soundeditor's note: given the time, I could have separated each speaker into a different file, and perhaps given a little summary for each. All help welcome.]

Apologies to anyone who tried to hear this. www.radio.indymedia.org has been down for most of yesterday and is still down. VERY bloody frustratin'. I'll add a comment when it's back up. Free should not mean bad service.
