Re: Dawn of a new EU - European Conservatives and Reformists Group springs into life
Our unions are calling for members to accept the deals on offer as the full horror of the crisis is laid bare before the people here. We even apparently have to borrow money for the Greeks thats borrow now mind you at a prohibitive interest rate to lend to Greece around 1.3 billion is the figure talked about and so far not a whimper from unions on it.
I predict we never see that money again but we will lend because our banks are in to Greece for supposedly 6billion and also to calm the markets and get them to drop our interest rate for borrowing. Lucky for us the goverment has 60% of the funds for the year so far.
Unions in Ireland are left wing in name only our country has never had a large working class union style economy. Labour in Irealnd is a public sector party hence in Ireland Labour traditionally serves in coalition with conservative parties small c and has no hang up about it.
