Motion no: 21
Noting that the scale of unemployment is at a level which involves excessive human suffering, and is otherwise a threat to social cohesion, Conference calls on Government to respond positively to our proposals for investment in both economies on the island in order to stimulate domestic demand and employment. In relation to ROI, Conference exhorts Government to leverage the opportunity of improved creditworthiness created by the accommodation with the ECB on the Promissory Notes issue to begin to reverse the deflationary spiral through off-balance sheet investment in infrastructure and an easement of the pain on low income families by guaranteeing no further social welfare cuts. Congress resolves to campaign actively to achieve these objectives.
