If there's one thing more shocking than the head of the Civil Service Muslim Network making antisemitic remarks, says David Shipley, it's that such sectarian groups shaping Government policy is now entirely normal.

Budget should about protecting lower paid and creating jobs

category national | worker & community struggles and protests | other press author Friday December 04, 2009 13:22author by DSF Report this post to the editors

In an interview, Mary Lou McDonald said she supports the public service workers and wants to see social welfare rates protected. Sinn Fein has offered an alternative to the slash and burn economics of the government which seem to be being accepted by the other political parties. By raising taxes while stimulating the economy and protecting the lower paid, the deepening of this recession can be avoided.

Sinn Féin is opposed to the government's policy of cutting the incomes of low paid workers and those on social welfare. It's bad for people and bad for the economy. Watch the video for the complete interview.

Sinn Féin are the only Dáil party to challenge the fundamental basis of our corrupt political system.
Their pre-budget submission shows they are finally grasping the nettle on economic issues, and stepping up to the plate by providing an alternative to the dismal economic policies all the main parties collude in, like obedient puppets of their EU IMF paymasters.
Sinn Féin are providing a people-first alternative which is realistic and workable under the constraints of our political and economic realities - yet they remain the only Dáil party to call NAMA as it is - a gigantic theft of public money for the sole purpose of bailing out a small group of amoral white-collar scum. Nama is the elephant in the Budget room.
They are the only ones with the integrity to do this, and the only realistic alternative to decades of grim right-wing economice which will devastate Irish society.
