Greek Referendum Proposal Must Be ReversedYoung Fine Gael (YFG) and the Board of the Youth of the European People's Party (YEPP) have today (Thursday), criticised the unilateral decision of the Greek Prime Minister to put the recent EU Summit's agreements to a national referendum without consulting or informing his EU partners. "This is a dangerous move that will jeopardise the stability of the eurozone and could have dire consequences on all members of the currency union and our close trading-partners," said Colm Lauder, Deputy Secretary General of YEPP. "If Greek voters reject the bailout plan, it could result in the first default of a eurozone member state, causing unprecedented trouble to the Greek people and severely undermining both the credibility and the future of the monetary union. In delaying decisions by waiting for a referendum result, this will leave the eurozone in an unprecedented period of instability," Colm Lauder continued.

My father died when I was five. My mother was 47-years-old. It was a time when women didn't work much outside the home. She had no choice. So she did it. Every day. As a parent myself, I know now what she thought about on the way to her cleaning job, at four o'clock, on those pitch-black January mornings. She thought about us, her children. About giving the best example. Leading a good life. Making the best future she could for all of us. She knew that occasional flashes of brilliance wouldn't be enough to see us through. She knew it was being steady, reliable, honest, hardworking, interested in others, that would win the day for her and for us all. It did. Talk SeminarMental Health and Suicide Awareness Seminar The TALK Campaign will be officially launched with this seminar, taking place on Saturday, September 3rd. The day's events will begin at 10:30am with the official opening. This will be followed by a Personal Experiences session with Mental Health experts. |
