Ordinary workers must pay for bankers’ greed

THE Dáil has passed the NAMA legislation to bail out the bankers who have done so much to bring about the present economic mess.

I believe its establishment will only serve to make a dreadful situation immeasurably worse.

Senior bankers and the totally ineffective regulators who were charged with monitoring their conduct have received massive payoffs and substantial pensions while ordinary workers are now saddled with the cost of rectifying the situation caused by their recklessness, greed and concern only with maintaining the lavish lifestyles their questionable activities had brought them.
