How’d it go?
Green Party EU candidate @CiaranCuffe says we are “still the bad boys in Europe” when it comes to tax reform and questions why Google can pay less tax in Ireland than small companies #iestaff

Durkan says he supported a bill similar to the Occupied Territories Bill when he was an MP and describes it as a “sensible sort of approach”.
The party he is running for is blocking it from becoming law

.@markdurkan – “I’ve a record in Westminster of being a very strong of the rights of the Palestinian people” @trocaire #standforjustice #socialjusticematters “I would not trust the EU with a universal taxation policy”

Clare Daly says there is no reason that Occupied Territories Bill can’t become law, Sinn Féin activist in the audience whispers “hear, hear”.
Definitely a lot of crossover between Boylan and Daly here today #ep2019

Fitzgerald comes back in with a general point to remind people about how much “communism and extreme socialism has failed”.
A small bit of laughter from the audience behind me, one man whispering: “Wrong crowd, Frances, wrong crowd.”

.@ClareDalyTD – “my appearance at the @ibec_irl hustings will be the highlight of my campaign 🤣
And I’ll be telling them the same things I’m telling you!”“The EU has been too often devalued to just an excuse to implement neoliberal policies” #standforjustice @trocaire
