Sinn Féin told ‘to pull on green jersey’

THE Tánaiste has urged Sinn Féin to “pull on the green jersey” and help the Government in its negotiations with the troika.

Eamon Gilmore was reacting in the Dáil yesterday to Sinn Féin TD Mary Lou McDonald, who criticised the Government for adhering to the bailout.

She said the troika would place a “big gold star on the Government’s copybook” for its “ongoing assault on the livelihoods of low and middle-income earners”.
