Model village puts it up to cutback politicians

GALBALLY Community Council in Co Limerick – indeed the whole community of Galbally – are extremely upset over the cutbacks in the community employment scheme.

We are dependent on FÁS workers to maintain the community centre, the cemetery, the school, the sportsfields and the village itself for the tidy towns committee.

(Galbally won the Bord Failte national tidy towns award in 1994). Most of the people on our scheme will not get another job A simple solution would be to transfer funds from social welfare to the community employment schemes.
