Irish Life and Permanent Put Profit Before People
The People Before Profit Alliance today condemned the decision of Irish Life and Permanent to increase variable interest rates from Monday. PBPA is calling on the public to show their disgust with IL&P by picketing their O Connell St branch from 12 to 2pm next Monday. The Alliance called on the public to organise pickets on other branches of IL&P at the same time.
Councillor Brid Smith said “My phone has been hopping all day. The people I represent are angry that their mortgage repayments are being increased when many of them have lost their jobs or have had wage cuts imposed on them. Anyone with a job is paying extra in levies. The people running Irish Life and Permanent have no idea how difficult it is for people to manage in current circumstances. The government needs to tell IL&P that this decision has to be reversed. The public should show their anger at this disgraceful decision by picketing IL&P next Monday”.
