NEWS: Queen’s Socialists to protest at Vice-Chancellor’s office
Tuesday, November 23rd, 2010
Queen’s Socialist Society intends to protest outside the Vice-Chancellor’s office next Tuesday afternoon in opposition to the Browne review. This comes at a time when its members have been increasingly critical of the Students’ Union’s tactics in its campaign against the Browne review, and argue that the SU should hold more large demonstrations similar to those held previously in the campaign. Announcing the protest for next Tuesday at 1.00pm, Queen’s Socialist Society Secretary, Tyler McNally said “You can’t just go out and go home.”

REVIEW: Down Down Deeper and Down: Ireland in the 70s & 80s by Eamonn Sweeney
Monday, November 1st, 2010
Down Down Deeper and Down is essentially a chronological account of Ireland’s woes, and at times successes, throughout the ’70s and ’80s with little analysis of events. Nevertheless this is a period which has arguably received somewhat limited coverage from academics. The most today’s younger population may have gathered from this period may have came from RTÉ’s Reeling in the Years series, but herein lies a grand story of battles, political as well as social, and the account of how Ireland began to improve its economic standing, at least until recent years.
