Mody statement should encourage people to go to European Court of Justice

The statement by Mr Ashoka Mody, the former International Monetary Fund (IMF) chief of mission, on the private debt forced upon the citizens of Ireland enhances the view of many, that, as the government has failed to do so, then the Irish people should take a case in the European Court of Justice against the ECB, the European Commission, and others for coercion and extortion.

We are being controlled like never before by powerful global interests while we have a government which dances to the same tune.

Submission has been the Irish way for too long, it is time to show courage on this issue.
