Latin America Solidarity Centre & Debt and Development Coalition Ireland invite you to an evening discussion.

Nessa Ní Chasaide, co-ordinator of Debt and Development Coalition Ireland has just returned from a meeting of the global debt movement in Ecuador. On Thursday 16th October she will speak on the problem of unjust debts and irresponsible lending and how the Ecuador Government is the first government of the Global South to audit its debts in order to ascertain the legitimacy, or otherwise, of its debts. The meeting will discuss the current thinking within the global debt cancellation movement on the recent Ecuador action and the new, alternative financial institutions currently being proposed by some Latin American governments.

Time: 7pm - 8.30pm
Venue: Teacher's Club, 36 Parnell Square West, Dublin 1
Date: Thursday 16th October, 2008
