Richard Boyd Barrett (Dún Laoghaire, People Before Profit Alliance)

How can one define that as anything other than asset stripping?

I totally disagree with advice of Deputy Ó Cuív to the unions. I hope Sinn Féin Deputies agree that we need a massive mobilisation of working people in this country on the streets on 8 October when the European Union and the IMF come here to show them that we are not allowing the Government to sell our vital strategic assets. We need to maintain that mobilisation to stop vultures asset stripping the country and the people who are sitting opposite from selling the country out and doing away with any of the assets we need if we are to have any chance of economic recovery.
