Is that Obama reference just a strange appeal to authority? I can’t think why else it would be thrown in there.
And of course they’re “social welfare customers” now.
President Higgins made a speech the week before last complaining about the use of the term customers instead of citizens where services are provided. Do you think anyone has told the Minister?
Let us remind ourselves of the facts :
Unemployment is Rising :

Emigration is rising :

Living Standards are falling :
http://www.independent.ie/national-news/living-standards-fall-but-prices-still-31pc-higher-than-eu-average-2462606.html
A Labour Party Government Minister does something about this : she gets tough with people struggling to survive on reduced social welfare payments – have they no shame?
