Crisis at Stormont to be discussed at a public meeting in Derry tomorrow night which is being hosted by People Before Profit

People Before Profit will host a public meeting in Derry tomorrow.

The meeting will start at 7pm in The Playhouse.

Confirmed speakers include PBP West Belfast MLA Gerry Carroll, PBP Dublin TD Brid Smith and Eamonn McCann.

PBP spokesperson Shaun Harkin said the meeting will lay-out the party's perspective on developments North and South and will address issues from the border to the fight for a woman's right to choose.

“According to the parties involved, Stormont talks are going nowhere.

“Frustration is mounting, especially with welfare cuts hitting people and the announcement of funding cuts for supporting people, the community and voluntary sector and arts."

Mr Harkin added: "Many crucial issues appear not even to be up for debate or discussion in the negotiations. These include devastating benefit cuts, the lay-off of thousands of public sector workers, the reduction of the Corporate Tax rate, the treatment of our teachers and the poverty wages so many people here are forced to put up with.

"No going back to the status quo must also mean an end to austerity and a commitment to campaigning for economic equality."
