Thursday February 19, 2009 14:47 by Final Nail Party
In a desperate bid to raise more money for the starving Irish bankers, activists from the Final Nail Party took to the streets this morning to collect money from people on their way to work. Surprisingly, not much money was raised, and most people seemed more interested in hearing about the ICTU march against the cuts which is being held in Dublin on Saturday.

Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4Genuinely interested- is that Daithi Doolan of Sinn Fein- the same Sinn Fein who voted for the bank bailouts?
Its good that sf are supporting saturday, but is it not a tad ironic that only a few months back they voted for the bailout proposals!?
They voted for the initial proposals on ther information available at the time- on the basis that something had to be done about the banking system.
I don't think that you would find anyone in Europe or America in any political party who would say that nothing needed to be done to stop the banking system collapsinglast autumn. However, once it became clear that the government was effectively writing a blank cheque for the banks while screwing ordinary workers, Sinn Féin changed its position.
The party supported the government's action to protect depositors and their savings, but Sinn Féin does not support the scheme to nationalise debts while allowing profiteering and bonuses for the people who caused the mess with reckless practices.
