In the next few weeks, to absolutely no fanfare, that vicious circle continues, a €600,000,000 bond from Anglo on September 3rd, then a billion-euro bond – yes, that’s €1,000,000,000, would fund a lot of gold medals – on October 1st, this one from AIB. We own both those banks, that’s our money, and this scandal is still going on.

That’s why we march, that’s why we risk derision, even from our own friends and neighbours. This is extortion, this is larceny, this is blackmail – it’s a crime being perpetrated by the EU/ECB against one of its smallest member states, at a time when it’s at its most vulnerable.

This Sunday we’ll meet again at the Garden of Remembrance, 11.30am, in solidarity with the march back home in Ballyhea and Charleville, and we’ll march again, at noon, to Croke Park. We wouldn't mind a few extra with us, however, wouldn't mind at all!
