Numbers 7, 8 and 9 out of the series of 12 posters issued by thefuture Initiative in opposition to the Fiscal ‘Stability’ Treaty.
For those of you (like myself) without great Irish the three posters translate as follows.
Ag cur dallamullóg orainn atá siad – Ná Géill don Bhagairt ón Aontas Eorpaigh! -They are deceiving us – don’t yield to the threat of the European Union!
Ná géill don bhulaíocht! Easpa daonlathais atá taobh thiar den Conradh -Don’t yield to bullying! Lack of democracy is what is behind the Treaty
Tá cursaí eacnamaíochta na tíre scriosta acu cheanna – Is malartú slí atá ag teastáil! – They have already destroyed our economy – We need a change in direction!
Many thanks to the sender.
