FRED HARRISON, author of ‘Boom Bust, 2010’, has accurately predicted previous recessions and recovery. He debates the prospects for the Irish economy with a panel of prominent planners, policy makers and economists. He foresees trouble ahead but also offers practical solutions. In this public talk he anticipates prospects in the economy during the upswing, which he argues will be improved if we adopt an approach based on land value equity.
Damien Kiberd, economist and broadcaster is Chairman.
This event is organised by the Land Resource Research Group (www.LRRG.org) and Trinity Political Society. Sponsored by the School of Philosophy and Economic Science.

GLUAISEACHT are mobilising people from all over Ireland to travel to London this St. Patrick’s weekend to “return the pipeline to Shell!”
We are bringing a 70ft pipeline to Shell H.Q. on St Patrick’s day to protest against the give away and mismanagement of our natural resources and to show our solidarity with the Shell to Sea campaign.
Buses will leave from Limerick and Dublin on Friday 14th of March and meet at the Dail at 5pm to protest at our government’s complicity in the Corrib gas project. From there we will embark on a weekend of actions in London highlighting the corrupt deal our government has done with Shell and the destruction of a area of extreme natural beauty. The weekend will culminate in a protest at shell H.Q. on St Patrick’s Day where we “return the pipeline”.
We feel there is a good opportunity on St Patrick’s weekend when there is so much good will towards Ireland to draw international attention to what is going on in Mayo.
If you want to join us get in touch with your nearest regional organiser:
Dublin: Fergal 085 1590728

Mayo: Kate: 085 1141170
