The decision to invite the British Crown Forces to a Jobs Fair in the County Armagh town of Craigavon on Wednesday, 13th May has been criticised by Republican Sinn Féin. A spokesman said that this amounted to the Six County “Department for Employment and Learning” using the current recession to entice people to murder and be killed for a hostile foreign power.
“The unprecedented economic downturn should not be used to encourage young people to put themselves in harm's way for a hostile government. The fact that Stormont is prepared to do exactly that gives the lie to claims that it is anything other than a British institution,” he said.
“History shows that collaboration with Britain's armed forces can result in a heavy human price being paid. Indeed this was again demonstrated in the Craigavon area in recent months.
“Stark economic conditions must not be used to delude people into thinking otherwise.”
