A Layman's Guide to the Fiscal Compact
For the last few weeks you will have heard various discussions in the media on whether or not Ireland will need to have a referendum on a new agreement that is taking place at EU level.
With the speed things have been happening during this financial crisis we know many people are lost or confused amidst the minefield of initials (IMF, EMU, ESF, WTF???) that are flying around and so we have compiled this short guide that explains what on earth these discussions are all about.
TO SEND AN EMAIL TO ALL TDS AND SENATORS ABOUT THIS, CLICK HERE.
We hope this guide will help any of you that are confused to understand what the issues are and that it will help you to make sense of the various media discussions you hear.
Enda Kenny = Eamon Gilmore = Fine Gael = Labour = Animal Farm
No question, now, what had happened to the faces of the pigs. The creatures outside looked from pig to man, and from man to pig, and from pig to man again; but already it was impossible to say which was which.

#NotOurDebt Interview with myeurop.info
I was emailed some questions today by a journalist with myeurop.info about the #NotOurDebt campaign against paying unsecured and unguaranteed Anglo bondholders. Here are some of my responses.
Don't pay the UNSECURED Anglo Bondholders - Not Our Debt #NotOurDebt
Dear TD/Senator,
I write to demand that the so-called "debt" of 1.25bn Euro (one billion, two hundred and fifty million) due to be paid to UNSECURED Anglo bondholders be not paid.
Since the Irish people had no hand in this debt; we do not consent to paying it. Since the Irish people will not benefit from its payment; we do not consent to paying it. Since Ireland has no moral or legal duty to pay this debt; we do not consent to paying it.
It would be a very simple exertion for you not to pay this debt; all you need to do is take the pen that is about to sign the cheque, and put it back in the drawer.
Again, and finally, WE DO NOT CONSENT TO PAYING THIS DEBT.
Regards,
YOUR NAME.
