We’ve had 90 years of capitalist administration, under the different management teams of Fianna Fail, Fine Gael, Labour, PD’s and the Greens.

While Fine Gael and Labour opportunistically opposed the budget in December they since have cynically connived with the government to ensure the Finance Bill, which enshrines the austerity cuts were rammed through before the election.

They all demanded a Yes for Lisbon claiming it would bring Jobs and Financial Stability. Ray Fitzpatrick was central in the fight against the Lisbon Treaty in Laois/Offaly, highlighting the lies of the €urocrats.

We got mass unemployment instead of jobs and €70 billion of bankers’ debt. Now they are asking you to trust them again.Vote for Ray Fitzpatrick and the Socialist Party/United Left Alliance based on their record of fighting for working people. If elected Ray will be part of a strong block of United Left Alliance TDs committed to fighting for you.

Interview on Budget cuts

Fiona O’Loughlin spoke to Tracey who lives in Clondalkin with her 18 month old son.

Fiona: How have the cutbacks in recent budgets affected you and your family?

Tracey: “I am single parent and I work part-time two days a week. My childcare costs me €75 per week so losing the early child care supplement will hit me very bad. I was getting €93 per month and this will now be cut to €45 per month until December but then it’s gone altogether. Between this and the other cutbacks I don’t know if it will be worth my while staying in work, even though I want to.

Government’s First 100 Days in Power

Friday 17th June marks the 100th day of the Fine Gael/Labour government. Enda Kenny and Éamon Gilmore set out the first 100 days as being a time when they will make a significant impact on jobs and the economy.  Voters were promised a jobs budget, renegotiation of the IMF/EU deal, and widespread reform. On all fronts they have failed. Fine Gael/Labour have continued the same failed austerity economics that the hated Fianna Fáil/Green government implemented.
