The McCarthy report is nothing short of an all out attack against the Community Sector. Over 6000 jobs are threatened, not to mention the programmes and services they deliver in childcare, drug rehabilitation, elder care, disability services, community development to name a few.

SIPTU members and activists has been campaigning throughout the country to challenge these cuts. Now is the time for the south west to deliver a clear message to Government: YOU SAY CUT BACK - WE SAY FIGHT BACK.

We are calling on the entire community to support the day of action; to protect vital services and those who depend on them. Don’t let Government make children, the elderly and disadvantaged pay for the greed of bankers.

Assembly is at:

The Mechanics Institute
Pery's Square
Limerick
12 noon
