Pearse Doherty (Donegal South West, Sinn Fein)

-----but asks those who have a bit more to pay a bit more. Our alternative would see the cuts announced today reversed. I am calling on everybody going into the next general election and who wants to go into government to commit themselves to reversing the budgetary cuts announced today. No party can go into the next election campaigning against these cuts while unwilling to reverse them. Sinn Féin's alternative says "No" to IMF and EU interference and tough luck to the bondholders.
