Protesters to march on Dáil over cutbacks to home help

A major protest is set to bring more than 1,000 home-help workers and patients to the doors of the Dáil today to force a U-turn on “savage” service cuts.

The Home Help/Home Care Action Group has organised the public show of anger after 950,000 hours of support to vulnerable elderly people and severely ill children were axed from the system this year.
