press release

“Inequality and poverty have increased significantly under this coalition government,” the Labour spokesperson on Social and Family Affairs, Deputy Willie Penrose has said following the release of an ESRI report which shows that relative poverty has more than doubled since 1994. “Ironically the ESRI figures were released yesterday, on the very day that Minister Coghlan insisted her Savage 16 social welfare cuts will be brought in before Christmas. The Bill implementing many of the cutbacks is being pushed through the Dail this week. It is my view that the report indicates the folly of pursuing cutbacks. |

DO NOT FEED THE TROLLS
i dont believe the sp really posted that, and i hope people realise that the major was being ironic, not joining in a feeding frenzy.
I presumed the etc etc etc would carry the irony.
