Enough is enough: silent poor must not suffer

EVERYONE is feeling the pinch these days. As always though, it is the poor and the vulnerable who suffer most.

In a global context we in Ireland have much to be grateful for. This economic crisis, which was caused in the main by the unfettered greed of western commercial institutions, is now causing misery throughout the world.

In this country and throughout the “developed” world many are paying with their jobs, but in poorer countries it is costing thousands of people, especially children, their lives.
