Government warned of further protests if demands to protect funding are not met

Disability campaigners who forced the Government to roll back on €10m in cuts to services are warning of further protests if demands to protect funding are not met.

There was a written commitment from the HSE yesterday not to proceed with cuts to personal care assistants for people with disabilities, but campaigners want a further meeting.

Martin Naughton, spokesman for the group, warned that disabled protesters did not want other vulnerable groups targeted for savings.
