Sinn Féin’s way is Greek way: Rabbitte

Labour have attempted to hit back after a disastrous new low in the polls and warned that large-scale support for Sinn Féin in a general election would turn Ireland’s fortunes into those of Greece.

The Sinn Féin way was the Greece way, argued senior Labour minister Pat Rabbitte.

His comments came as an MRBI/Irish Times poll put support for Labour at just 10%, nearly half what it was in last year’s general election.
