		Rabbitte has also been accused of micro-managing the party to the detriment of his role as party leader.

		Pat Rabbitte’s Parnell School speech was widely reported and, while framing his remarks in perfectly innocuous multi-cultural sentiment, nevertheless he raised formulations that could encourage racism.
		The greatest failure of Pat Rabbitte on the question of immigration is that he consistently omits to make the very simple but crucial point, that it is employers who are using immigrant labour to try to lower wages and condition.
		A further sign that Rabbitte is focused upon the immigrant worker as a ‘problem’ is his advocacy of having a debate on whether to introduce work permits for immigrants.

	Western People: Rabbitte has ‘no regrets’ after five years at Labour helm
		Pat Rabbitte’s sharp intellect and wit has made him a household name in Ireland in recent years and, no matter what a person’s political colour might be, one couldn’t help but be drawn to the Labour Leader’s personality.

	Rabbitte Gets It Wrong - Parlon
		Last week in an Irish Times interview Pat Rabbitte stated: “The time may be coming when we will have to sit down and examine whether we would have to look at whether a work permits regime ought to be implemented in terms of some of this non-national labour, even for countries in the European Union”.
		But in trying to harness and boost those fears by making his recent comments, Pat Rabbitte was doing a huge disservice to Irish politics and indeed the European idea, which as Archbishop Martin observed recently, is based on the idea of open borders within the Union.
		Pat Rabbitte is not just wrong about immigration he is also wrong on the impact of the services directive.

		Rabbitte had also been opposed to workers from Poland escaping Communist rule when he was in the Workers' Party in the 1980s.

	Collateral damage: The latest casualty of the Mullingar Accord… Pat Rabbitte resigns « The Cedar Lounge ...
		And in fairness to Rabbitte I look at the selection of potential contenders and it strikes me that for all his faults there’s not one that I could say with all honesty had he or she been there for the last five years they would have done better.
		And as far as not publicly countenancing coalition with FF goes - that was the platform Pat stood on, and was elected to the leadership on.
		Pat’s departure though does open up a bit of space for debate - it should be interesting to see who takes advantage of that and, more to the point, what they have to say.

	Slugger O'Toole
		Pat Rabbitte recognises problems in both Sinn Fein and the DUP, but thinks “there may be elements of brinkmanship involved in the latest responses of both parties”.
		Clearly both Sinn Fein and the DUP are facing significant levels of internal opposition to the moves required to restore the Executive by the March deadline and there may be elements of brinkmanship involved in the latest responses of both parties.
		It is a big deal I would respectfully suggest that Pat Rabbitte’s opinion on it is a very small deal indeed.
