Irish workers will bail out the bankers and the speculators following a decisive emergency budget. All workers will have reduced spending power as a result of tax increases while a new agency has been established to buy up “bad assets” with Government bonds. The income levy introduced in September has been doubled as has the health levy and minimum wage workers have been brought into the income tax system. Take home pay will be reduced for all workers in May. The deficit between Government income and expenditure is massive due to the bursting of the property bubble, banking mismanagement and the policy of positioning the country as the most “open” economy in Europe. That policy ensured that Ireland would be the most vulnerable to fluctuations in the globalised economy. Government borrowing will be over 10% of national income this year, but the main source of income to fix the problem is the increase in direct personal taxation. read full story / add a comment

The Workers’ Party has condemned today’s emergency budget as a miserable failure which only exacerbates the damage to the Irish economy caused by a golden circle who continue to gravitate around Government Buildings and hobnob with senior figures in Fianna Fáil. read full story / add a comment

Sometime during the second decade of the sorrowful mysteries, I had a sense we were not alone. Martin, Katrina and I were sat alone in a small East London park facing the Excel Centre where the G20 of the most powerful government leaders were gathered to rearrange deckchairs on their sinking ship. Thousands of police had been deployed around the Excel Centre keeping the few hundreds of protesters who gathered a quarter of a mile from the site. A case of overcatering evidently. read full story / add a comment

Dracula budget sucks blood from workers The Communist Party of Ireland in a statement on the budget presented by the Minister for Finance, Brian Lenihan, described it as a Dracula budget, designed to suck the blood from workers so as to give a transfusion to bankers, stockbrokers, tax-avoiders, and property speculators. These parasites will all sleep well and will be celebrating the fact that their interests have been well looked after by “their government.” read full story / add a comment

Oxfam Ireland deplores today’s cut in Ireland's aid budget “Oxfam Ireland deplores today’s €100 million cut in Ireland's aid budget and calls for an immediate reversal of this decision. With this cut, our government's promise to the world’s poorest people rings hollow. This is the fourth cut in 10 months – demonstrating that the Irish Government sees the aid budget as a soft target. This cut will have a devastating impact on vulnerable people who are already struggling to cope with the crushing impacts of the global financial crisis, the food crisis and climate change. These are difficult times for us all but it is not the time to abandon our commitment to tackling poverty and injustice. Ireland's international standing will be damaged even further by this decision to turn its back on the world’s poorest when they need our assistance most” said Jim Clarken, Chief Executive of Oxfam Ireland. read full story / add a comment

Shell to Sea campaigner, Maura Harrington was released from Mountjoy Women’s Prison this morning after serving 28 days. Maura had been imprisoned for allegedly slapping a member of Garda Siochana, a charge which she denies. Maura proceeded from Mountjoy Women’s Prison to Dail Eireann, where she was accompanied into the Dail by Aengus O Snodaigh TD and Martin Ferris TD. Maura met with press outside Dail Eireann where an impromptu press conference had been called. Maura called for an end to the gas give away: “Our pension fund was given to bail out the banks, and we now stand to gain nothing from our own natural gas and oil resources. The government is putting pressure on the people of Ireland today with this new Budget, but the oil and gas companies are feeling no pressure.” read full story / add a comment
