John O Neill challenges other candidates on finances and double jobbing:![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() John O’Neill, socialist candidate in Dublin North West, has challenged other candidates in the consituency to make a clear statement regarding their finances and double jobbing. John stated: ‘Like a number of other left-wing candidates, I have made a pledge that if elected I will only take the average workers wage and that I will use the rest of the T.D.’s salary to fight campaigns on issues that effect working people and their families. I also give a clear commitment that, if elected, I will work solely as a public representative. While I doubt any of the conservative politicians will promise to live on an average workers wage, I do expect them to take their job seriously. I challenge the other candidates to state clearly if they intend to be full-time public representatives or if they are going to be juggling their job as T.D. with private money making. In particular, I call on the Fine Gael candidate Dr. Bill Tormey to clarify if he will give up his lucrative practice as a consultant pathologist in two Dublin hopsitals if he wins a seat in the Dáil. Indeed many people in the Dublin North West constituency will wonder how such a wealthy man can represent the interests of ordinary working people struggling to make ends meat.’ |
