Privatisation

Conference re-affirms its long standing opposition to privatisation of key public utilities and public services such as health and education. Specifically, it calls upon the incoming Executive Council to campaign for a constitutional amendment to ensure that the water supply infrastructure in the Republic of Ireland will always remain in public ownership, and to maintain its opposition to the privatisation of Northern Ireland Water. It also calls upon the incoming Executive Council to oppose the disposal of the Irish governments remaining shareholding in Aer Lingus insofar as this could jeopardise the strategic issue of connectivity from both the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland to Britain, Europe and North America.
