Topical Issue Matters (27 Jan 2015)

Leaders' Questions (27 Jan 2015)

Ruth Coppinger: I assume the Taoiseach will not be joining the Anti-Austerity Alliance in sending heartiest congratulations to Syriza and to the millions of unemployed workers and oppressed people of Greece who have elected it to power. I make this assumption because of his lacklustre response to the election of the first anti-austerity government in Europe. His remarks about Europe drifting to populism...

Leaders' Questions (27 Jan 2015)

Ruth Coppinger: Why is the Taoiseach more at home with the global elites and the billionaires representing the 1% who gathered in Davos and with whom he rubs shoulders each year?

Leaders' Questions (27 Jan 2015)

Ruth Coppinger: Why did he immediately reject the idea of a debt conference, as raised by Syriza? Surely that would be an opportunity to outline the injustice of the savage austerity imposed on the people of Ireland, Greece, Spain, etc. It would be a chance to show how all of this was done to salvage the rule of the international banks and tycoons. It would be an opportunity to audit wealth and separate...

Leaders' Questions (27 Jan 2015)

Ruth Coppinger: Stretching the debt over a long period of time will not reduce it. It will, in fact, increase it. Everybody knows that if one extends a mortgage it simply means one pays more. All that the Government has achieved is to put the burden on children who have not yet been born. In contrast, at least Syriza has raised the prospect that a totally unsustainable debt, which was foisted on the...

Leaders' Questions (27 Jan 2015)

Ruth Coppinger: It is quite incredible that the Taoiseach does not seem to realise that last weekend in Davos he lined up with the wealthy and vested interests. Amazingly, there were flags flying at half mast for a Saudi tyrant, yet he was very lukewarm about the election of the first anti-austerity regime in Europe.

Leaders' Questions (27 Jan 2015)

Ruth Coppinger: Syriza has shown up the complete failure of the Labour Party and Fine Gael to stick by their pre-election promises of burning bondholders, with slogans such as "It's Labour's way or Frankfurt's way." They have been found out by a left-wing government in Greece which will stick to its promises, refuse to accept debt being placed on the shoulders of working class people and demand that the...
