Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4At the protest against the EU/IMF cuts on Sat 27th Nov, one of the speakers suggested this and gave out the number of Gormely and asked people to phone him over the next few days and weeks and to do the same with other politicians.
"FINE GAEL APPEARS to remain undecided on how to vote in Wednesday’s Dáil ballot on whether to ratify Ireland’s bailout deal with the European Union and the International Monetary Fund, today’s Sunday Times reports."
"The paper says that while Labour has committed to voting against the plan when a division is taken this week, Fine Gael are less unequivocal in their proposed stance on the €67.5bn deal."
The two excerpts above appear at: http://www.thejournal.ie/fine-gael-undecided-over-dail-...0-12/
Maybe a few phone calls from voters, which gently but firmly point out to our "elected representatives" that, if they wish to hold onto their very lucrative positions as TDs, they might need to start listening a lot more to the people of the Republic of Ireland, and a lot less to the people who are behind the European Union and the International Monetary Fund, and their proposed €67.5bn bailout for the self-inflicted gambling debts of the bankers?
This now seems particularly important on account of the fact that, the people of the Republic of Ireland who the TDs are supposed to be representing, are not being given an opportunity to have their say directly on this extremely important matter through the use of a referendum, a matter which involves a huge financial burden for tax payers (in "bad times"), and which appears (to me at least) to have been deliberately designed to plunge present and future generations of the Republic of Ireland into a "perpetual debt" situation (of crippling magnitude), which they might never be able to get out of. This is not very good for the "common good" mentioned in Article 6.1 of our written Constitution (Bunreacht na hEireann), is it?
Add to the above the fact that, as an independent and sovereign nation state, there is nothing whatsoever to prevent the Republic of Ireland Government from creating its own COMPLETELY "debt-free and interest-free" money: by the means already explained at: http://www.indymedia.ie/article/98299#comment275816
Hi !
The following email was sent to a userlist of trade union members by SIPTU today , at 1:41 PM :
Colleague,
Could you please delete the email including the phone numbers of public representatives which you received from SIPTU on December 10th, and which was entitled "TEXT YOUR TDs NOW, DAIL VOTE IS TODAY." from your system and ask any others to whom you may have forwarded it to do likewise, thanks.
SIPTU Communications Department.
The phone numbers in question can be seen in the first post on this thread but , if you do sneak a look , please delete them from your memory afterwards...
:-)
Thanks!
Sharon.
