Deficit will fall if bank debts are not paid: ULA

Anti-treaty campaigners accused the yes side of using empty threats and false promises and called on the electorate to pass a damning verdict on “austerity politics” in tomorrow’s EU treaty vote.

Members of the United Left Alliance also claimed Ireland would have enough incoming cash to survive without access to further bailout funds in 2014 if the Sate refuses to pay banking debts.

The ULA argued the country’s deficit will fall to €3.1bn next year if bank debts are not paid.
