Finlay misrepresents SinnFéin position on treaty

Fergus Finlay never ceases to surprise me. But even by his standards, his article on the Austerity Treaty (May 1) was rather surreal. His claim that Sinn Féin has become a supporter of IMF funding programmes is simply untrue.

Of course, the real reason for his deliberate misrepresentation of Sinn Féin’s position on the issue of emergency funds is to distract attention away from the Austerity Treaty.

Fergus is probably finding himself in a rather difficult position. On one hand, as a card-carrying member of the Labour Party, he must feel compelled to support the treaty.
