Starmer and his party face a much greater threat than ill-advised financial decisions by the deputy prime minister: barely anyone supports them.

Lloyd's of London is the latest institution to abandon the Net Zero agenda, lifting a ban on insuring fossil fuels. About time, says Ben Pile. Green ideology is finally meeting its nemesis: reality and the bottom line.

Health Crisis Debate

Socialist Youth -V- Young PDs

For the last few weeks new dialysis patients in Limerick have had to travel all the way to Kilkenny, Tullamore, Trallee and Galway in order to get treated. This involves a two hour drive there and another two hours back at least 3 times a week.

On Saturday the 21st of July there will be a debate in Limerick between Socialist Youth and the Young PDs. A key part of that debate will be the ongoing health crisis nationally, the dialysis crisis here in Limerick and the governments ‘co-location’ and privatisation plans.

Cian Prendiville a member of Socialist Youth said “This crisis in Limerick shows the true causes of the wider health care crisis: a chronic lack of facilities, staff and investment by this government”.

As well as this there is an ongoing problem with A&E, waiting lists and people having to stay on trolleys. Socialist Youth have recently been out campaigning in Limerick attacking what they called “PD Syndrome”. This, there material stated, was “stealth privatisation and for-profit health care”.

Add to this the fact that Socialist Youth want a comprehensive public health service and oppose co-location whilst the Young PDs are in favour of co-location and private health care. It promises to be an interesting debate!

The debate is on at 1pm upstairs in Riddlers bar on Sarsfield St and is part of ‘RESISTANCE’, a forum for young people being hosted by Socialist Youth.
