I’m going to be chairing this session, as unfortunately Mick O’Reilly is unable to attend.
The main speakers are:
Paula Clancy : Director of TASC, the think-tank for action on social change, and also Director of the Democratic Audit Ireland Project. Her publications cover areas from media and politics to community arts and gender. She is co-author of Outsourcing Government: Public Bodies and Accountability.
Michael Taft : Economist and researcher with Unite The Union.
Tom O’Connor : College Lecturer in Economics and Public Policy, Cork Institute of Technology; member of the TASC Economists Network and a frequent media contributor on the Irish economy, unemployment and taxation. His forthcoming book, Moving Beyond Neoliberalism: Alternative Policies for Sustainable Employment and Decent Public Services in the Years Ahead, will be published next spring.
Full programme is here.
The venue for The Greaves School is The Ireland Institute, 27 Pearse Street, Dublin 2.


Just to let you and readers know - I will be stepping in for Brendan Keenan who wasn’t able to attend. The subject is ‘The Crisis of the Irish Economy’ - the session you’re chairing, Conor.
Thanks Michael, I’ve updated the post to add your name.
