Coalition ‘creating a fractured society’

The Government has been accused of effectively turning a recession into a depression by steering the biggest ever transfer of wealth from low and middle income families to the rich and powerful.

In a, attack on Coalition economic policy, Social Justice Ireland said it was not acceptable that the sacrifices OF building the future should be borne by those on low to middle incomes or future generations.

“What Government is doing is creating a fractured society, a weak economy and persistently high un-employment. This is not real recovery,” said Fr Seán Healy, director of advocacy organisation, Social Justice Ireland, at the launch of the group’s 2013 Socio-Economic Review.
