"Given our own experience of both terrorism and the abuse of the financial system, ‘prevention of the use of the financial system for the purpose of money laundering and terrorist financing’ is something that should be close to the heart of every Irish person. I do not have to elaborate on how physical terrorism affected Ireland for decades, and there are still those who have not been weaned off it just yet. But there is also another kind of terrorism, terrorism that is far more widespread and far more endemic. I am talking about financial terrorism, the terror inflicted on peoples all over the world by the small but disproportionately powerful moneyed interests, whose actions are facilitated by captured governments. Our own government in Ireland has long been captured and is now held prisoner by the IFSC, dancing to its every tune, the same financial centre which is so low down the scale – or so high, depending on your perspective – that it was described by no less an outlet than the
as the ‘Wild West’ of high finance. Consequently, I had no hesitation voting for this."@en1
