Get involved and save our future

NOTHING seems to make sense anymore — except perhaps to the IMF and the bailed-out bankers and bondholders.

The Department of Community, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs gets a 16% budget cut which will impact completely disproportionately on Ireland’s most vulnerable communities.

The Heritage Council suffers a further 47% cut on top of last year’s 30% cut and the National Parks and Wildlife Service suffers a 56% cut — both vital services that have not only done incredible work to protect our heritage but also have created and maintained thousands of jobs and brought much investment and tourism income to the economy.
