New Poblacht na nOibrithe for Dublin Northeast.

Dublin Northeast activists busy in the community.

éirígí Dublin Northeast activists have been busy during these first weeks of 2014. Dublin Northeast activists have delivered thousands of our new Poblacht na nOibrithe to local residents. The leaflet gives a run down of burglaries in the Coolock area and how éirígí members helped the community organise a resistance to the break ins along with highlighting the negatives of the proposed Clonshaugh sewage plant. 

The activists have also held another very successful information stall at our usual location of Northside shopping centre. 

Speaking in relation to the information stall éirígí representative Ciaran Heaphey said “Our latest Poblacht na nOibrithe highlights some of the major issues effecting our Communities. We look forward to working with communities on these & other issues over the coming months. éirígí is ready to stand with communities that are standing up for their rights, against big business & bullying governments.”

Burglary Epidemic

Due to the many failures of this government, Dublin and many parts of the country are plagued by an epidemic of burglaries. éirígí Dublin Northeast have worked with communities to highlight this issue by organising public meetings and working with local neighbourhood watch groups.

Speaking about the continued spate of burglaries éirígí Dublin Northeast Representative Ciaran Heaphey said: “This time of year is a particular time when burglaries increase. I would urge residents to be vigilant and to work with other neighbours in your community to be vigilant and keeping homes safe.”

Some Tips to Securing Your Home

- Ensure that doors are locked, windows are shut and securely locked.

-If the entrance to your home is dark consider installing lighting with an infrared detector. Most thieves don’t want to be observed trying to get in a door.

-Have the back door locked when answering the front door, a secure ring chain lock attached to your door handle will increase the security.

-Having a dog is a major deterrent to burglars.

-Tell close neighbours you trust if you plan to be away or expect any deliveries

Fine Gael not welcome in Coolock.

Members of Fine Gael were this week canvassing the households of Kilmore/Coolock endorsing the career politician Richard Bruton.

éirígí Dublin Northeast representative Ciaran Heaphey told his canvassers exactly what he thought of their policies, which have given nothing to local communities but mass unemployment and economic misery.

Heaphey said: "The Blueshirts have no right canvassing any working-class area given their Thatcherite right-wing policies. What makes it worse is they are supported by the Labour Party. Heaphey continued "This shower should not be able to canvass our areas without harassment from local people.” 

éirígí encourages all members of the community who oppose austerity to voice their anger towards Fine Gael in the same manner if they come knocking.
