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

I take the opportunity also to express my sympathies on the Taoiseach's family loss.

Does it give the Taoiseach any pause for thought in implementing the policies of austerity dictated by the troika, given the massive mobilisation that will take place in the North of Ireland tomorrow which will see 80,000 to 100,000 public sector workers come out against attempts to essentially cut their pay and increase their pension contributions to pay for an economic crisis they did not create? This will be an unprecedented mobilisation in the North and across Britain of people, our nearest neighbours, who are saying they are not accepting this and that it is not right or just that ordinary workers should have to pay for a crisis other people created.
