‘Pyramid’ bank matters more than the needy

THE recent budget brought into sharp relief the priorities of the Government and some of those independents who back them like Deputy Noel Grealish here in Galway West.

They had no problem backing a budget that cut supports for blind people, carers and social welfare recipients while at the same time rescuing the toxic bank, Anglo Irish.

The Government has already put €4 billion into Anglo. Now we learn this is not enough as the same amount is required in the next year.
