Irish Budget 2011

The Austerity programme imposed on the poor in Irish society has made headlines all over the world. And what it has resulted in is greater abuse than ever of our refugee population. The conditions in which refugees live in Ireland under the Fianna Fail government is probably the greatest single human rights abuse record in Europe over the last twenty years. The abuse of children by this government is in fact unprecedented in Ireland ever. The first thing the new government elected in January/February 2011 must do is announce a total amnesty for all those held in refugee concentration camps in Ireland. For all children to be released from Mountjoy jail. For Human Rights Legislation to be introduced that would protect ANY child living or visiting Ireland. In other words the child being held in Butlins Concentration Camp in Drogheda would have exactly the same rights as a child born in Cavan Area Hospital to parents from St Martins Estate in Cavan. That's what our missionaries went all over the world to promote. Now we the Irish people must hang our Celtic Tiger heads in shame that we have created our own concentration camps in this country.
