Is this the jack o' connor who responded to the call for solidarity from Colombian coca cola workers who were being assinated by death squads by supporting coca cola or the one who has responded to the attacks to make irish workers pay for the bank crisis by concluding a deal (the croke park deal) which agrees they should pay for the crisis?

Important questions serf

Serf

Why don't you come along and ask O'Connor? Seriously. If what you say is true then the solidarity with Colombia movement doesn't need such a hypocrite coat-trailing when it suits.

This is a very important documentary and it will be very interesting to hear from the UP survivor of the onslaught
