Jump To Comment: 1 2 3Congrats to TU for organising this protest. I'll publicise it.
The names of the ten investors must be released. How could releasing their names endanger any possible criminal proceedings? Does Biffo think that we are all fools?
The two issues are not the same. I have no issue with people paying for their own pensions, however, there is an issue of equity for those who are on low pay. I myself earn less than the average industial wage wage am in my early forties and don't have a pension. I would like to have the pension enttlements that some in the public sector enjoy. I stress " some" but not all. This is a direct result of the PD zeal to slash taxes, which the unions had very little to say about during the so-called boom. The unions are very much part of the inner circle and not the force-for-good some naively believe they are.
On the banks: criminal sanctions should apply. I have worked with people who have ended up in jail for stealing a Mars bar. CAB should be employed to get to the bottom of the fraud.
There is a greater global crisis so I'm not sure what these marches will achieve under these circumstances.
Inner circle=Dáil, Unions, and so on.
