Joe Higgins is standing for the Dublin Constituency in the Euro Elections to be held on Friday, June 5th

Just when Fianna Fail's Dublin Euro Candidate Eoin Ryan thought it couldn't get much worse, it did. Mary Harney publicly endorsed him!

The hapless Eoin must have felt his political lifeblood chill as Harney's cold kiss of political support sealed his fate.Already spurned by many categories of workers from airport staff to teachers - all victims of Fianna Fail's slash and burn response to the Fianna Fail induced crash - now every nurse, doctor, hospital attendant and taxi driver whom Harney has alienated in her day will join the revolt.

Fianna Fail could lose their Euro Seat to Joe Higgins

Gay Mitchell and Proinsisa DE Rossa must have blanched a little also as Minister Harney opted for a Grand Coalition of the establishment parties to represent Dublin in the Euro parliament, but they hope nobody will notice her endorsement.

'We don't have the luxury of sending protest MEPs', arrogantly declared Minister Harney. On the contrary, we need far more MEPs who will protest vehemently in Brussels and in Dublin, against the policies of Harney's Government which are savaging the living standards of working peoople while salvaging their speculator and banker friends and their moribund system.

Minister Harney demands that vorters should not let Sinn Fein 'slip through the pass'. She may not notice that the Socialist Party is climbing steadily and poised to outflank them all!

She also says Dublin voters must 'not shoot themselves in the foot.' How blind she is. Can she not see that virtually the whole of Dublin have their 'political guns' pointed in the same direction and it is not at their feet!.
