The above is a clip from the Tipp Today show on Tipp FM where Anti-Austerity Alliance candidate, and member of the Socialist Party, Cian Prendiville, debates against a representative from a new anti-immigrant party ‘National Independent Party’. The AAA stands for a united movement of all those affected by austerity, and rejects all divisions based on race, nationality, gender or age. As Cian outlines, we fight for a public investment programme to create jobs and stop the emigration crisis. This debate followed a press release by the Limerick branch of the AAA in response to the NIP saying the “Emigration, not Immigration is our problem“.

They will also want to hit back at both Fianna Fail and the Green Party for their current policies of making working people pay for this crisis while bailing out the banks and the speculators.
