France - pushing beyond the one day strikes
Date: Wed, 2010-10-13 09:53
On three occasions in the last 6 weeks,

Public Private Partnerships (PPPs), as we’ve been led to believe by those who support them, are ways in which public bodies can share the costs and risk involved in providing public infrastructure such as roads, schools etc. with private sector companies.
But in recent days it has emerged that PPPs entered into for the construction of the M3 motorway and the Limerick tunnel are set to land the taxpayer with a €100 million bill over the lifetime of the contracts.

We were told Gardai had to jump out of the way of the truck and that it crashed into the gates. Now mobile phone footage showing the entire incident reveals that the truth was not being told about this one man protest by a minor developer.
