Bertie tramped down in the dirt.
The Rally finished on everyone holding hands singing 'We Shall Overcome'
Congratulations to all in Ennis. But the fact is that as a nation we are asleep to what the government is doing and to successfully challange what is happening we must confront the policy that lies behind the actions. The government is in the process of privatising everything to create a copy of the American system of low direct taxes combined with little or no public services. This of course greatly favours the wealthy.
The intention is to privatise the Health Service in the long term and in order to achieve this the existing service must be set up so as to attract speculators with the promise of large profits. Profits and the provision of service do not mix. The emphasis is therefore placed on rationalisation of existing facilities and job cuts. The HSE is being populated with people who's first objective is not to provide better services for the sick, but rather to save money. Money is the new god.
During her term at Health, Harney has insisted that all activity is carried out under a PPP (Private Public Partnership), the system used to grow for-profit activitiy in what were heretofore services provided under the State's control. Public services are accessable by all citizens, those on the other hand that are under the control of the for-profit sector, are only accessable to those that can pay. That is the stark difference and if Harney and Ahern have their way, that is also the stark future.
More pictures from the march. It was a good turn out and they had more organisations now involved than most people know about.

Mary Harney is not using the PPP system only when it's apparently apropriate to do so-the provoision of raditherapy proves this. These services would be provided quicker without any involvement of private money. Harney is ideologically driven on the matter.
