"Madam President, today the EU Commission is demanding of the Irish Government savage cuts in Ireland’s budget, involving the slashing of public services and the living standards of working people, possibly even for pensioners and the unemployed.
The Commission should know, however, that it is conspiring with the Irish Government in a lie to pretend that the money given to bail out the banks is not State aid while, at the same time, hammering the public sector.
However, Irish workers and community activists are fighting back. Tens of thousands marched in protest last Friday; thousands of workers marched in Dublin today; and on 24 November, a public sector workers’ strike is scheduled, in order to stop these attacks.
In view of the seriousness of the situation, that should now be upgraded to a 24-hour general strike to bring down this appalling government, which has no mandate for these policies, and to halt the policy of the Commission and of the Irish Government to slash and burn the living standards and services of working people."@en1
