SF: 'Austerity treaty' is bad for jobs and growth

Sinn Féin has said that the EU Fiscal Treaty, to be voted on in a referendum on May 31, is bad for jobs and growth and if passed "will hamper any prospect of economic recovery".

The party's jobs and enterprise spokesperson Peadar Tóibín said that at a time when the Irish and Eurozone economies "desperately need investment in jobs and growth", the Government and their EU counterparts "are proposing the very opposite".
