Over 100 hundred local residents who attended a public meeting, Wednesday, 23 February were told that the authorities in Croke Park are attempting to close down the Handball and Community Centre located on the grounds of the stadium. Community Centre committee members told the meeting how the GAA had refused to sign a letter confirming that the centre is a bona fide Sports and Leisure Club under the terms of the licensing laws. Committee member, Eamonn O’Brien, said “This is in an attempt by Croke Park to deprive us of a bar license because they know that the bar provides the club with is main income stream and without it the club and the community centre will be forced to close.” The meeting heard how this development would allow Croke Park to demolish the centre and build a new handball centre and corporate headquarters for the GAA. Mr. O’Brien congratulated all the local political representatives for their commitment and hard work with the community to prevent the closure of the community centre and urged them to sign a pledge to support the retention of the centre and its activities. Before the meeting began, girls from the dance class which runs in the centre put on a short demonstration of their dance routines. Mr. O’Brien explained that “The dance class was set up in the 1970s to give young girls an alternative, a healthy activity, at a time when drugs were devastating the community”. |

Bärbel Lange and Sandra Beyer , both long-time members of Die Linke, will lead a discussion on the political situation in Germany and the response of Die Linke to the crisis.
