“Tackling Economic Crisis.”

The newly formed Cumann of UL Sinn Féin has recently held its first public meeting entitled “Tackling the economic crisis.” The meeting was addressed by James Monaghan who gave a detailed account of various issues ranging from the inherent failures of neo-liberalism to the effects of the continuous pushing of the free market on third world states by entities such as the E.U. and U.S. to the effects of the Thatcher-Regan style economics on the agricultural and light industry sector in Ireland and beyond.

The meeting was chaired by UL Sinn Féin activist Orlagh McCauley who ensured that a lively debate was allowed to develop.

Speaking from the Campus UL Sinn Féin Chairman Alan Spencer said; “The meeting was a great success and we were genuinely delighted with the experience and knowledge we’ve gained from it. James Monaghan was greeted quite warmly and he left us all far better educated on the current economic situation. We are looking forward to holding many more such meetings in the future.”
