Time to fight for the future of our country

It’s 2013. No one should be cold or hungry or afraid in their homes because they don’t know how they are going to put food on the table and pay their mortgage.

No special needs child should be without resources. Carers should be supported, not attacked.

Our young and elderly should be looked after. We should have properly functioning and adequately funded health and education systems.

We don’t. We have allowed billions of euro to flow out from this country to unknown banks and bondholders to pay a debt that isn’t ours — a private bank debt that was put on the shoulders of the Irish people.

It’s more important than ever that we stand together and do something as March 31 approaches and another €3.1bn is due to be taken out of our economy and destroyed.

Protest peacefully or write letters to your TD. Do whatever you can. This is our fight. This is our country.
