Lets talk about workers rights. Margaret Thatcher was the person who said ‘there's no such thing as society’, it's all about the individual, what a disgusting thing to say, but the remnants of that ideology can be seen, and can be heard, in the philosophy and the ideology which runs our country. And, which, to some extent, is at the heart of the European Union today. Workers rights is about workers coming together in exercise of their democratic race to decent pay and conditions, and workers coming together and being allowed to collectively bargain for example is the norm across Europe, it's the norm in Germany, it's the norm in France, it's the norm and Belgium and Netherlands and Spain. It's not permissible in Ireland there's no legislation, we're told it's unconstitutional. We're a backwater on workers rights, collective bargaining rights in this country are apparent, there are more workers rights, and many rights in the United States, the leader of work capitalism done in this country. 
Europe is the key. I recently visited the European Parliament, I spoke to people who arranged the tour. They don't talk about workers rights on the tour. They list dozens of issues, workers rights is not among them. They talk about the professions of the MEP’s, there's all sorts of professions, there's no Trade Union assistance. It's time we got real it's time to people at Dublin, put a workers advocate a workers’ representative into the European Parliament and it's time that workers representative, (because no one else is doing it) stood up for Irish workers and their missing rights they're absent rights they're denied rights. The rights of workers across Europe, but are denied to the Irish. We need to bring that debate to the European Parliament and we need the European representation, and we need a European directive, to be compelled upon the Irish government, we need no more opt outs. It's Time Irish workers got the same rights as the workers across the European Union and I will bring that argument right to the heart of Brussels.
