Sir, – Where were the people of Mullingar when Roscommon hospital was being closed? Where were the people of Clonmel when the special needs assistants were being let go? “First they came for the Jews. But I wasn’t Jewish so I didn’t complain . . .” When will we learn in Ireland that we are all in this together, rich or poor, public or private, taxpayer or not?
It’s time for solidarity in the face of the onslaught of austerity. – Yours, etc,
