We willingly handed over our hard-won freedom to the Troika

For hundreds of years, Ireland was under the control of the Crown, economically, politically and socially.

Way back in those dark days, the majority of the people knew who controlled them, and that majority eventually rose up and fought, and they won, or so we are led to believe.

Then, roll on to the 1970’s, when we joined the European Community - we were told it was good for us, it was for equal sharing, equal trading, equal societies - true equality for all.
