Government's approach to Budget will damage the sick, the poor and the vulnerable- Budget 2011
Social Justice Ireland has issued the following statement on the Government’s approach to the forthcoming Budget and the period to 2014.
The Government’s current approach to Budget 2011 will seriously damage sick, poor and vulnerable people. While Government has stated it will support these groups, its refusal to ‘put everything up on the table’ for consideration means that Ireland’s weakest groups will take the major part of the ‘hit’ for the reckless actions of greedy bankers, incompetent regulators and an inept government.
