Adams calls on Dáil to vote against IMF deal
Sinn Féin President Gerry Adams has urged all TDs who value Irish sovereignty to vote against the EU/IMF deal in the Dáil next week.
Mr Adams said there are still other options available for Ireland and the IMF should be told no thanks.
He said: “The statement yesterday from the IMF shows that this is not a done deal and it can still be opposed.
“Because of the threat of legal action from Sinn Féin's Dáil leader Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin this disastrous deal can still be turned down.
“There are other options available for Ireland such as burning the bondholders and putting in place a proper recovery programme that stimulates the economy rather than contracting it.
“Sinn Féin has put forward sound proposals to grow the economy while paying off the debt in a longer timeframe.
“We first need to see this disastrous deal defeated in the Dáil next week and I would call on all TDs who value Irish sovereignty to vote against the deal.
“We then need a General Election which would allow all parties to put forward their respective positions.
“Then at least we would have a Government with a mandate from the people to proceed in the best interests of the people.”
