Joe Higgins (Dublin West, Socialist Party)

I will bring an international perspective to the debate. I will offer an alternative to further disastrous austerity. I will speak about a different kind of Europe that is not dictated to by the undemocratic financial markets, but run in the interests of the vast majority of ordinary people. We need a Europe for the millions - not a Europe for the billionaires in the financial markets.
