Govt must take 'anti-poverty approach' to Bord Snip proposals
The community and voluntary pillar of the social partnership process is calling for an urgent socio-economic analysis of the impact of the Bord Snip Nua recommendations.
Several groups have already warned that the implementation of the proposals would have devastating consequences for the most vulnerable people in society.
One of the most controversial recommendations in the recent report was for a 3% cut in social welfare rates.
The community and voluntary pillar is calling on the Government to take an anti-poverty and equality-focused approach when making economic decisions in the coming months.
