Over 30 years of anarchist writing from Ireland listed under hundreds of topics
Up until 2006 all WSM articles published after 1990 were hosted as part of the Struggle collection on another server. We hope to eventually move all the articles stored there to this site but in the meantime these subject indices take you to the pages still stored on that site.
This is an index linking to every issue of Ireland's anarchist paper Workers Solidarity for which there are articles on online (currently back to 1991)

It was announced today that the NAMA board members received a huge pay hike with the board's chair receiving a 70% pay increase. This is in stark contract to the two successive wage cuts of between 14% - 18% of income for all public sector workers.We've consistently heard the idea that we "all need to pull together" to get out of this recession, and that painful cuts are necessary.

Thinking About Anarchism
The ruling class strategy of making working people pay for the crisis has seen public and private sector pay cuts, job losses, welfare reductions and slashing of important services like special needs assistants for children with physical and mental problems.
