Michael Colreavy (Sligo-North Leitrim, Sinn Fein)

The State's assets were put together at great cost to taxpayers, often when times were hard. A percentage of these are now to be sold off to privateers as part of the diktat of the EU-IMF-ECB troika which was agreed by the previous Government and is now pursued enthusiastically by the current Government. It is not democracy but dictatorship.
