Coalition For Cuts is Insult against Irish People

Cllr Anthony Kelly has condemned Fine Gael, Labour and the Green party for helping to prop up a dying Fianna Fail by forming an undemocratic coalition for cuts to push through the Finance Bill. He also described the attempted ejection of Sinn Féin finance spokespersons from last nights cross party talks as a violation of Irish democracy.

"Where else would you see it?" Cllr Kelly asked, "The so called main opposition helping an outgoing hated government push through a bill designed to hurt the average Irish citizen. We see it because we allow it. Its clear to everyone now that Fine Gael and Labour are a carbon copy of the Fianna Fail/Green coalition which destroyed this nation. If the Irish people vote them into power, they will do exactly what Fianna Fail done; feather their own nest while the Irish people suffer."

Cllr Kelly said that despite the failure of the Irish media to report a true account of events surrounding the Finance Bill, the rest of the world was reporting that Sinn Féin now stands alone as the only opposition party in this state.

"Sinn Féin stands alone against the gombeen political culture which is directly to blame for this nations downfall. Its not about Fianna Fail versus Fine Gael and Labour, its about the Coalition for Cuts against the Irish people and Sinn Féin. We are opposing this Finance Bill because it is wrong and because we are opposed to Fianna Fails failed economic policies. Obviously Fine Gael and Labour are not opposed to cuts against the vulnerable of Irish society or they would not support this cruel bill."

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.”
