Aengus Ó Snodaigh (Dublin South Central, Sinn Fein)

Grow them and stand up for Ireland. Negotiation should be done from a position of strength and we will be in a position of strength only when we look at the alternatives for the country instead of cutting the heart and soul from communities and local economies.

The economic approach of austerity or any detailed, not to mention highly suspect, fiscal formula has no place being articulated in our Constitution. The Irish electorate should be free to democratically select and mandate the economic approach it decides to choose at any general election in the future.
