Builder Mick Wallace hit the headlines during the Nice referendum last year when he placed a banner critical of the government, condemning the nice treaty and the war in Afganistan.

Now he has once again used the same spot to send an uncomfortable message to the current Irish Government.

During the Referendum Dublin Corporation challenged Mick to remove the banner, but were forced to back down, when the massive IBEC banner encouraging a "yes" vote hanging from the IFSC was pointed out to them.

Hey critic,

It's a wonder you can manage to point out the sty in other peoples eyes, with that plank of wood in your eye?

Fair play to Wallace, not led by the bottom line.

Possibly critic, I don't know. But I know this - fair dues to the man for doing this.

He is serious and he is not just looking for new members.

Well done Mick - not bad for a St.Pats fan.

Still no sign of one from Liberty Hall or any of the ICTU buildings. Amazing the influence 'the mass movement" is having on them.

...I've seen that guy out lifting cement, doing the ordinary work while other bosses in his position, when they have the free time, stand around in suits and hard hats, glaring at their workers so as to put the jeepers creepers in them.

Mick is farmore genuine than the fake revolutionaries of the SWP/sp etc. Unlike these wasters he is for real, no empty slogans etc
