Conor Mac Liam is a teacher and has lived in Kilkenny with his family for over 20 years.

When his wife Susie Long, who died of cancer in October 2007, became ill, both she and Conor actively highlighted the crisis in cancer services and struggled for a decent public health service for all.

Today, there is still no day unit in St Luke’s to carry out timely colonoscopies. There is still not one hospice in the whole of the South-East!

Conor has bravely campaigned on these issues. Now lives are being put at risk by dire cutbacks. Conor’s electoral challenge as a principled campaigner who rejects the government and EU/IMF austerity cuts, is  the strongest possible rejection of the failures of this government’s health policy and for better health care facilities in the South East.

Conor is an active trade unionist and is a member of the ASTI.

Resist IMF’s demand for more shock therapy!

Can an institution, like a human person, suffer from schizophrenia? Judging by the latest report from the International Monetary Fund it would certainly seem so. The condition involves a ‘breakdown of thought processes’, a ‘deficit of typical emotional responses’ and ‘disorganised thinking and speech.’ All these conditions are evident in the prescriptions by the IMF for the Irish people.

Review: Elysium

Elysium is a dystopian sci-fi action film released in August 2013, starring Matt Damon and Jodie Foster. Set in the year 2154, it follows the story of Max da Costa, a factory worker living in the ruins of a future Los Angeles. In this future, the rich and powerful have fled the poverty, disease, and environmental destruction they’ve wrought on the world, and moved to a space station called Elysium. There they live in an idyllic society, far removed from the struggle of ordinary people on earth.
