West Cork being bled to death by cuts, say protesters surrounding Dáil

The West Cork region is “bleeding to death” due to Government cuts, protesters claimed yesterday.

More than 150 people picketed Dáil Éireann in response to continued cuts to grants and services in the sprawling coastal constituency.

Some protesters, who got up at 5am to travel to Dublin, claimed the region was not being supported by its three TDs, all from government parties.
