Group calls on Europe to cancel Irish debt

The Ballyhea group brought their battle to have Ireland’s massive debt cancelled to the European Parliament and today makes their case to the president of the member states’ Council.

They presented a four page document to the Parliament’s petitions committee setting out the case under the EU Treaties for Irish citizens to be compensated for the damage caused by the euro through a debt write-off and a levy on the finance industry.

Diarmuid O’Flynn of “Ballyhea Says No”, said the euro was launched as an incomplete currency despite experts warning at the time of its launch that it would create chaos throughout Europe.
