The Campaign goes on - Kelly

Cllr Anthony Kelly has vowed that Wexford Sinn Féin will continue to be at the forefront of the fight to prevent any further downgrading of Wexford General Hospital, despite having missed out on a coveted Dail seat in the recent election.  Cllr Kelly, the Wexford Sinn Féin election candidate, has also said that his party is now the main opposition party in this state, and he aims to insure that Sinn Féin in this county will be the voice of opposition against any future cuts or lack of affirmative action by the new regime.

Cllr Kelly said;

“Obviously there is disappointment among some of our supporters that we failed to win a Sinn Féin Dail seat for County Wexford in the recent election.  I want to assure these people that nothing has changed.  We opposed the unfairness and incompetence of the last government.  In fact, it was my party that brought them down.  I want the people of this county to know that Sinn Féin will take action against the incoming government if they fail to honour the promises that they made to the electorate during the election campaign.  I want the people of this county to know that we will continue to resist downgrading of our health and education services, cuts aimed at the most vulnerable citizens in our state, and narrow minded government attempts to tax our way out of recession.”

“The test of our new government, and indeed our newly elected Dail Deputies, is whether they will put Irelands interests and the interests of Irish citizens before all else, including the repayment of toxic bondholder debts.  Will this government introduce a realistic job creation plan, and will they invest their full energy into tackling the unemployment and emigration crisis?  Are they prepared to abolish the Universal Social Charge?  Will they be able to cope with the now inevitable mortgage crisis?  Sinn Féin is now the real opposition in the Dail, and we will be the voice of coherent opposition in County Wexford.  If the government fails the people of County Wexford, we will be there to fight them.”
