"For a Real Alternative"


People Before Profit Alliance was established October 2005 by workers from a variety of local campaigns. Its aim is to reverse neo-liberal policies which place wealth creation for the few over the welfare of the many. Text 'JOIN' to 087 9090166

We linked up with other independent and left candidates to provide a real alternative in the last general election in 2007 and our Dun Laoghaire Candidate Richard Boyd Barrett narrowly missed out on a Dail seat.

After the 2009 Local Elections we have 5 elected councillors. In Dun Laoghaire, Richard Boyd Barrett topped the poll on the first count and took 22.8% of the vote.
The People Before Profit Alliance won 5 Local Election Seats.

    An alliance of left wing councillors has called for "anyone who is angry to vote."

    The alliance said voters in the upcoming elections should vote principally for left-wing community candidates, and to transfer their preferences "to anyone but Fianna Fail and Fine Gael".

    The alliance, which includes former Labour TD Declan Bree of Sligo, Joan Collins of Dublin City Council, Richard Boyd Barrett of the People Before Profit Alliance and Cork councillor Chris O'Leary among others, is calling for a "new Left-Right alignment" in Irish Politics.

    That is a lie.
    Name one Hospital that has been Privatised while Mary Harney has been the Minister for Health.

    Michael McDowell merely said that inequality is an inevitable part of the society of incentives that Ireland has become.
    So again you're twisting the truth.
    Maybe come back to me with facts, eh?


    And if we're dead the socialists are rotting in hell ;)

    I hope everybody is registered to vote!!Only 6 days left till they stop taking applications.
    Even if you were registered before check the register again just to be sure...my name was taken off the list for some reason so i had to apply again.

    http://www.registertovote.ie/

    Also if you know somebody who isnt registered yet feel free to copy this pic and send it to them, i think it is important to get everybody voting on this regardless of which side they are on.
