It states:
" Speakers include: Richard Boyd Barrett TD, Eamonn McCann, Diane Greer and other special guests.
" Richard Boyd Barrett is the newly elected People Before Profit TD for Dun Laoghaire. He has been to the forefront of opposition to bank bailouts in the South. We are delighted to have him come to show support for Eamonn's campaign.
" We believe that Eamonn is in with a serious chance to take a seat in this election. In the Westminister election last year, Eamonn polled 3,000 votes. The quota for an Assembly seat last time was 5,800. If Eamonn can improve on that vote on 5 May, it would make him a serious contender for a seat. It will be an uphill battle to do that, we need to convince people to vote Eamonn No.1. But it would be a tremendous breakthrough for the left, and deliver a clear voice of opposition to the four party consensus in the Assembly and a voice to encourage resistance to the cuts on the ground. We are aksing everyone who supports the campaign to come to the launch meeting and to do what you can over the next four weeks to help."
