Video of Dublin Lisbon Treaty Debate

At today’s photocall and press conference outside Permanent TSB’s Grafton Street branch Joe Higgins MEP, Socialist Party and United Left Alliance candidate for Dublin West commented:

The ink on the Household Tax legislation is not yet dry and already we have firm indications that this could be the issue that marks the real beginning of an active fightback by ordinary people up and down the country.

The Fianna Fáil/ Green Party Government has just about limped to the shelter of the Dáil summer recess, battered and severely frayed at the edges. Now there must be serious questions about how long more it can stagger from crisis to crisis.
