Ted Neville vs Mark Little on cheap foreign labour on RTÉ in 2007.
‘It’s the mantra that is being played that Ireland is no more than an industrial estate. Ireland was conceived as a country, as a society by our forefathers.
We elected a democratic parliament to run this country and now that whole thing has been spun around that Ireland is no more than a place to conduct industrial activity with an artificial introduction of huge masses of labour, people prepared to work at low rates from countries who would actually be far preferable in having those workers to develop their own economies - that was the whole idea of the EU that when the accession states came in Lithuania, Latvia, Poland and all the rest that the EU concept was that they would develop their prosperity to the level of the EU.
Instead what has happened, Ireland has pushed their workers over for its own greedy needs…
Who was more correct?
