Family Resource Centres lobby to keep funding

THE potential ramifications of harsh budget decisions were brought home to Minister of Finance Brian Lenihan at a lobbying event by the Family Resource Centre yesterday.

Mr Lenihan was attending the Mountview Family Resource Centre in the heart of his Dublin West constituency.

The resource centres are fighting to retain funding in the wake of unfavourable recommendations in the An Bord Snip Nua report of Professor Colm McCarthy.
