Eamon Gilmore stated on The Panel (5th November 2009) that he would stop paying welfare recipients, his exact words being “there is a requirement to get any dole payment that you have to be available for work or available for education or whatever, and if someone doesn’t comply with that you don’t pay them”.

Gilmore’s party passed a motion last night (17th April 2010) calling on the party to campaign for a reversal of the public sector pay cuts, clearly his ‘One Ireland’ is where Labour intends to bribe securely employed public servants with money taken from private sector tax payers and those withouts jobs.

What a wonderous place Gilmore in Wonderland must be, one where fake fivers have been replaced by fake policies and fake economics.  One where his policies are as out of date as his 20 year old front bench.

Gilmore has just confirmed that he and Labour are now economically illiterate and owned by the unions. Is that the Ireland we want going forward? Ireland deserves better.
