Protest Rally against Attacks on Senior Citizens in Budget 2014 on 22nd October at 1 pm, Dáil, kildare Street, Dublin Continuing she said “We in the ISCP embraced the fact that the strategy was aimed not just at older people but at how we care for all the people across the lifecycle”. In Budget 2014 we see no evidence that the government accepts its own strategy. The people who need care and need to be enabled and assisted to care for themselves and others were on the receiving end of the toughest measures in Budget 2014. |

Jump To Comment: 1 2While I fully support the Budget protest on 22nd, I feel a little uneasy on focusing on ourselves alone. I think we must strongly support unemployed people under 25 whose allowances were cut so drastically.
We must also protest at the reduction in overseas development aid.
This is a mean vindictive budget
Children and Adults with a disability or long term illness are being attacked just as badly as pensioners. The media are not highlighting that the 150,000 discretionary medical cards the Govt. want to withdraw are from people with disabilities and long term illnesses who need medication and the telephone allowance is also being removed from people with disabilities and carers as well as from the elderly, these cuts disproportionately affect the most vulnerable in our society.
