A Sinn Fein MEP is accusing Fine Gael’s
Brian Hayes of being ignorant, out of touch with reality and someone who
doesn’t know what’s happening on the ground in Ireland. Ms Boylan expressed her
strong criticism of the Dublin MEP following comments he made about Sinn Fein
distorting the realities of the economic crash in Ireland and the subsequent
austerity measures. Mr Hayes has accused Sinn Fein of blaming Europe for
problems caused by previous Irish governments. But Lynn Boylan says he’s not
making any sense.

Out words: Fine Gael Government

A spat has broken out between Sinn Fein’s
Lynn Boylan and the Fine Gael MEP Brian Hayes. Ms Boylan has rubbished claims
by Mr Hayes that left wing parties in Ireland such as Sinn Fein are distorting
the realities of what caused Ireland’s economic problems and the subsequent austerity measures introduced as a result of the crash. In an interview with
EuroParlRadio Mr Hayes said that the likes of Sinn Fein were blaming Europe for
problems caused by previous Irish governments. But Lynn Boylan says Mr Hayes
doesn’t know what he’s talking about.
