I'm a socialist member of parliament in Ireland - I'll be doing a Q&A on dealing with the COVID-19 pandemic live on Facebook later today

Hey comrades,

As the title says, I'll be doing a Q&A session on Facebook Live later today (8pm Irish Standard Time). I'll be with trade unionists who'll be answering some frequently asked questions that working class people have been sending in since the crisis began! I'll also be talking with a trade union activist with the GMB union in Britain who organises NHS workers.

The stream should go live on my Facebook page around an hour and a half from now. Hope to see you there with any questions you have!

Solidarity,

Paul

I find Northern Ireland's parliament really interesting. The government is a coalition of 5 parties consisting of Unionists, Nationalists, Left Wing, Right Wing and Centre.

Err how do they get along in Cabinet meetings?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northern_Ireland_Assembly

Also the Nationalists are left wing/centre-left and the Unionists are right wing/centre-right. I find it amusing. I guess it demonstrates that Nationalism isn't entirely the ethnic type?
