Is the cure for Ireland’s ills a 32 County Socialist Republic?
Public debate 25th November, Belfast.
Organised by Queen's University Students Society Comhdháil Poblachtach.

150 people from across Ireland and abroad attended. Among the audience there were Republicans and Socialists from many different organizations and none. Unfortunately there were only 10 women in the room.

There was a heavy presence of uniformed police officers inside the venue and outside and a Loyalist bomb threat was ignored by the audience.

Speakers (in this order; 10-15 minutes speech each):

Daithí Mac An Mhaistír- Éirígí
Brian Hanley- Author of ‘Lost Revolution- The story of the Official IRA and Workers Party’
Eoin O’Broin- Sinn Féin and author of ‘Sinn Féin and the Politics of Left Republicanism’
Anthony McIntyre- Author of ‘Good Friday- The Death of Irish Republicanism’
