‘Fine Gael would privatise health, outsource public transport’, says Siptu head

The head of the largest trade union has warned that Fine Gael will privatise health services and outsource public transport if it gets a “monopoly of power” after the general election.

Siptu’s Jack O’Connor has also urged Labour to reach out to left-wing TDs for support in order to shore up the numbers so the party can get into Government.

In an interview with the Irish Examiner, the trade union president admitted that left-wing parties were too disorganised to form a government this time around.
