Chavez to the Rescue

Mark Devenport | 13:47 UK time, Tuesday, 15 January 2008

More evidence Following Ken's Lead that Sinn Fein see Hugo Chavez's oil as the answer to our problems. Martina Anderson has travelled to Caracas to attend a conference organised by President Chavez to hear what she describes as "the hugely exciting developments which are taking place there", by which she means his policies on free health care and education and his "programme providing cut-rate heating oil for needy families in the US and other countries".

Martina's party colleague Willie Clarke wants the Agriculture Minister Michelle Gildernew to investigate the possibility of buying Venezuelan oil at a 20% reduction to fuel our fishing boats. Ms Gildernew says the local fleet should become more fuel efficient. She has no plans to investigate purchasing oil from Venezuela but declares herself ready to raise the matter with her ministerial colleagues in the future.
