SIPTU chief: FG ‘a recipe for disaster’

THE president of Ireland’s largest trade union has said Fine Gael on its own in government would be “a recipe for disaster”.

SIPTU’s Jack O’Connor believes the poll-toppers would continue to implement the same austerity measures as Fianna Fáil, leading to more unemployment and emigration.

Mr O’Connor said a balanced government would be a Labour-led coalition with Fine Gael.
