Kelly slams “grubby deal” to get Finance Bill through before election

Cllr Anthony Kelly has described as ‘deplorable’ the actions of Fianna Fail, Fine Gael, the Greens and Labour in assembling a quasi-coalition to push the dreadful Finance Bill through this Dail before the General Election.

“The people of Ireland are demanding an immediate General Election,” Cllr Kelly said, “Instead we are presented with this unholy, undemocratic alliance of Fianna Fail, Fine Gael, Labour and the Greens – The consensus for cuts. The Irish people have been demanding change, change which includes the reversal of the austerity measures outlined in Budget 2011. Once again Fianna Fail and the Greens have ignored, but now so have Fine Gael and Labour. Are these the people you want running the next government?”

“Any party that stands for change and a better Ireland must oppose this bill. The labour party should remove its support from the consensus for cuts coalition immediately and bring forward its motion of no confidence which will finally end Cowen’s reign. It’s the right thing to do and they know it.”
