Protests and sharing the pain
TENS OF thousands of workers took to the streets yesterday in an Irish Congress of Trade Unions-inspired “day of protest” against the Government’s budgetary strategy, particularly plans to cut the public sector pay and pensions bills by €1.3 billion in the December budget. The anger of the marchers was understandable. They are not responsible for the dire economic circumstances now facing the State. But the Government mismanaged the economy, is now broke and simply cannot afford to pay its bills. The level of borrowing for day-to-day spending is such that, should it continue unchecked, the prospects for an early economic recovery would be grim.
