Look folks, at the end of the day Sinn Fein are a bunch of ****ing idiots, as are Fine Fail and Fine Gael.

But, back to the OP, SF are a very sly and devious party. WTF do they know about running the fiscal policy of Ireland? Lets read from their economic policy and find out shall we?


"We can build a country and an economy that creates wealth(from nowhere) and shares wealth, that is based on enterprising excellence and social solidarity. A country defined by Irish values of decency, fair play and celebration of achievement.(dont forget dancing at crossroads)


We can do this because that is who we are(so dont usk any questions, just trust us). That is what we are about, that is what our economy must be about. We need a plan to achieve this. We need leadership and Sinn Féin can offer it. Read on to find out how...



The government cannot simply tax or cut its way out of this crisis.


Our number one priority at this time is to get Ireland back to work. The time for action is now.Targets for job creation must be set and met.


All of those involved in job creation and training – statutory agencies, unions, employers and educationalists - must come together to plot the job creation pathway. We need speedy and deliberate targeting of those sectors where growth is possible – sectors like agri-food, research and development and green technology.


We need to build the skill base to create and fill new jobs(isnt there somebody already responsible for this? FAS??? Oh no, my mistake). We need to build the critical infrastructure, schools and houses, public transport and Information Technology. (and pay for them with what? Air? Magic?)



Business start ups must be supported by creating one stop enterprise business points offering advice, funding and expertise to entrepreneurs. (already there im afraid)

An aggressive export Ireland strategy is urgently required. This is an area of huge potential. Currently 90% of exports from this state are from foreign owned multinationals. Irish enterprises must develop their export capacity. Government policy must drive this.


We must fight to save existing jobs under threat. Workers and their families deserve no less. Economic recovery demands no less.


Jobs can be saved. The jobs on the line at SR Technics can be saved. Jobs in construction and retail can be saved. Waterford Crystal can have a future. These and other vulnerable jobs will be lost if the current lacklustre approach by government continues.


Sinn Féin would not meekly accept the ongoing haemorrhage of skills and global brands from our country. The government needs to get its act together.


Recovery will not be possible unless we sort out the banks. This requires forthright, decisive actions.
This is what needs to happen:

• Mispaid bonuses and overblown salaries must be retrieved, there must be a cap on salaries of banking executives and an immediate abolition of their bonuses. (best of uck with that one Gerry-boy)
• We need to know the extent of the banks bad debts. The time for speculation as to the state of the banks balance sheets is over. (it is already acurately known)
• We need to have the truth. An independent inspector must, on behalf of the taxpayer, establish their liabilities. (Oh right yea)
• We need a new, robust financial regulatory system.

Seriouly??? THese guys are fcuking idiots, but then again, so are those that vote for them.
