Mobilising against Corporate Power

For years, the Irish government has handed a huge amount of power to big corporations. But it’s clear today that this isn’t delivering for the majority of people in Ireland. While families struggle to afford rent and wait years for healthcare, corporate CEOs dodge taxes, lobby for unfair legislation and get away with poisoning our waters and climate.

We all know there’s a problem – but how do we forge a better future? Join Corpwatch Ireland for an interactive session to explore how people in Ireland can rise up against corporate power, in our energy and agriculture system, big tech, and more.

Speakers include: 

  • Jennie Stephens, Maynooth University 
  • Mary Murphy, Maynooth University
  • Caoimhe McSharry Daly, Maynooth University
  • Orla Kelleher, Maynooth University
  • Adrian Kane, SIPTU
  • Siobhan O’Donoghue, Uplift

Hosted by Maynooth University, CorpWatch Ireland, Uplift and Climate Justice University Union, with support from Maynooth University Social Science Institute, the School of Law and Criminology and Department of Sociology, Maynooth University.
