    Finally ..

    > Since the introduction of the Euro, the prices of goods and services have risen by an average of 15% in Ireland across all sectors (over 1 euro for each 8 you spend). With the government that promised harsh penalties standing idly by as these irresponsible money-grabbers make off with YOUR hard-earned cash, what can you do to stop the rip-off?
    >
    > On Monday the 1st of July, from 10am - 10pm, just 12 hours, we are calling for a boycott of all the goods and services you can live without. As part of this boycott you should be especially aware of those businesses that are profiting in the current climate : pubs, supermarkets, shops, doctors, dentists, hairdressers, travel agents, cinemas, restaurants and many more.
    This boycott will coincide with those in other affected European nations making
    our voice stronger and louder.
    >
    > Remember that apart from having a personal effect on your pocket, the small group of people profiting from the confusion over the Euro are putting the entire national economy at risk of massive inflation, making the country less attractive to foreign investors and more expensive for tourists. This needs to stop NOW! Use YOUR voice on July 1st.
    >
    > If you wish to contribute further, please lodge your protest at the scandalous price increases and the government's inaction with your local TD or Consumer Affairs office.

    > Please forward this to your friends and family.
