He has a broad range of interests but wants to focus the Longford – West Meath electorate on this long term solution to a vast range of money and debt related issues which are having a very negative impact on the general public.

Peter Mathews speaking on the Banking Inquiry:

Tom Darcy DDI – Dublin Bay North

Excerpt form Tom’s book, Waiting for the Sheriff – Page 156
Tom Darcy’s conversation with The Irish Bank Whistleblower calling himself ‘Slim Shady’.
Tom: I sat stunned. ‘How do you sleep at night?’ I asked.
‘That’s the game,’ smiled my whistleblower, ‘there are winners and losers. You can’t win when we hold all the cards.’
Hardly able to contain my rage I demanded to know why he was telling me all this if he held all the cards.
Mr Shady sat back comfortably.
‘So that you know the bank will always win. We are in charge of this country because we control the money. The judges do what we tell them because they’re scared we will come after their homes too and government ministers are only thinking about their pensions and payoffs.
Tom’s book, ‘Waiting for the Sheriff’ gives an excellent insight into the corruption and control system that is the commercial banking system.

WHICH SIDE ARE YOU ON?
The Introduction of Public – Community Banking to Ireland in various forms is now supported by all the above Candidates and
Sinn Féin, The Green Party, DDI-NCM, R2C, Renua & The Social Democrats.
Political Parties who have so far rejected the introduction of Public Banking in favour of the current self-serving commercial Bank Monopoly of c. 95%, include FG, FF, Labour.
We have received messages of support and encouragement from members of all these parties but their leaders are not convinced or are compromised. We ask you if you are involved with any of these parties to work to educate them and bring them on-board with the project.
