The Irish people were left to stand alone and pay for economic crisis

I want to argue that Jean Claude Trichet’s ‘secret’ letter to Brian Lenihan and the consistent pressure directed at two governments, and by default every citizen in the Republic, now needs to be brought to the European Court of Human Rights .

While the details of this financial disaster may be factually correct from an economic markets perspective, the climate of fear generated at the time was morally wrong and is now an issue of human and moral rights.

The decision taken was to ask the citizens of Ireland to pay an unfair and unjust price for the recklessness of both an Irish and a European private sector ‘problem’.
