[Paul Murphy] I asked the government whether they will support debt cancellation for the Ukraine called for by trade unions and activists in Ukraine. The answer: It risks impairing the IMF’s financial integrity 🙄

>which, in turn, could jeopardise future financing for Ukraine and other countries in need
Pathetic that our government’s main concern is the IMF’s bottom line
Nice of him to ask, but the Ukrainians have been very specific in what help they’ve asked for and he was against that. But maybe he knows better.
Damage control from a prick who knows he’s cornered by public opinion.
As other posters have pointed out this isn’t any sort of help to Ukraine at all even if it was implemented. Literally just fodder for headline readers on Facebook to say “See, look, THEY don’t want him to have a voice”.
Why don’t you post his other tweets on Ukraine OP where he is still making excuses for bot clapping?
>If the Azov batallion (an openly racist fascist regiment) had been present and spoke during President Zelensky’s speech yesterday in the Dáil, would everybody else still have applauded?
