No more corruption: Ahern must go: Protest this Tuesday at the Dail

No more corruption: Ahern must go: Protest this Tuesday at the Dail

Bertie Ahern and the Fianna Fail/PD government’s legacy for the people of Ireland after ten years in government:

-One the biggest gaps between the rich and poor in Europe

-A housing crisis where many working people cannot afford to buy a home and are forced to work 7 days a week just to pay for a mortgage

-A health service in crisis

-A lack of affordable childcare

-the privatisation of our national telecommunications infrastructure, our national airline, and the break up of many other public services

-The death of Irish neutrality as we allow Bush use our airports for war

- Huge commuting times due to a lack of public transport

- Rising gas and energy prices because of the give away of our gas to Shell and other companies

This is just a short summary of what Bertie and FF/PDs have given us. To their developer friends and business people they have given unprecedented wealth and profits.

The corruption scandal engulfing Ahern should be the straw to break the camel’s back..

For too long the politicians of this country have been on the take from developers and big business. The people of Ireland need to speak up and say no more.

Ahern should resign and this government should go.

Members of Fine Gael have also been linked to corruption and have repeatedly stated that in relation to key policy areas like public services, tax and neutrality they will not do anything fundamentally different from the current government. Those who want a real alternative need to stand up.
