Labour chairman: Quinn’s cuts to resource teaching betrays party values

In an email to Mr Quinn last Friday seeking an urgent meeting, the Galway East TD said he wanted to discuss if such cuts need to take place. “I have been contacted by an inordinate number of labour members who have expressed concern that these proposed cuts go against core values of the Labour Party and once again attack the most vulnerable in society,” he wrote.
The minister’s spokesperson said mail to his Oireachtas email address is usually sent automatically to his department email, but Mr Keaveney’s letter had not been received last night.
