Sir, – In contrast to the the Greeks, the Irish people have been remarkably subdued in their response to the austerity policies being imposed.
Therefore, I believe the strike by Dublin Bus workers should be welcomed. Any action that is opposed, however indirectly, to the austerity agenda, should be supported.
The disruption caused should remind us all that it is working people that provide the goods and services we need, and not the international financial services industry, for whose benefit austerity is being enforced. – Yours, etc,
JAMES PRENDERGAST,
