We need fairness and social justice

How can we be surprised that we are back in recession when this Government hasn’t put any real strategic emphasis on stimulus programmes or investment in job creation?

Its whole agenda is not about achieving an economic recovery that will benefit the ordinary people, but one in which ring-fencing the rich and powerful is of utmost importance.

What has been instituted in the couple of years since Fine Gael and Labour entered Government has been nothing short of the purposeful wearing away of the fabric of Irish society.
