Joan Burton tells of troika’s ‘vicious bluntness’

The troika told Joan Burton Ireland would “have to give us everything you have” in a flash of “vicious bluntness” the Tánaiste revealed.

She also told the MacGill Summer School she would “practise and preach the religion of socialism” in the run up to the election.

The Tánaiste expressed concern at the attitude of the troika when the bailout began.
