Kenny has left the elderly and disabled down

I am flabbergasted at the level of betrayal from our Taoiseach, Enda Kenny.

Every promise made during his political campaign trail has not only been broken but torn up, thrown out and burnt.

People with disabilities, the elderly and all the charity organisations that give support have been targeted for destruction. It is like a blatant form of eugenics. Our country is haemorrhaging and our Taoiseach is just trying to plug the holes with broken promises. Instead of a permanent, fair solution to repair the problem, his “Ministers for Wealth” are creating a cruel vacuum where people are suffering in poverty within our society.

If these cuts are allowed to go ahead we will have our very own humanitarian crises right here in Ireland. As a person with a disability I have done nothing to cause this crisis but I am being punished for it. As a human being, I am being stripped of my rights. Thanks Taoiseach and Minister James O’Reilly, you will certainly be remembered for this.

I would like to refer you to the Cork Cil website where you can watch a video called “More cuts, more disabled”. This video was made in 2010 when things were bad. Now they’re a hell of a lot worse. How can you, our TDs and MEPs, allow this to happen? Where has the Irish pride gone?

All I can say for sure is that Ireland is run by a bunch of sheep. One following the other, in a baa’ad attempt to pull the wool over our nation’s eyes.
