national / miscellaneous / press release Tuesday April 07, 2009 17:34 by Clare Quinlan
Oxfam Ireland deplores today’s cut in Ireland's aid budget “Oxfam Ireland deplores today’s €100 million cut in Ireland's aid budget and calls for an immediate reversal of this decision. With this cut, our government's promise to the world’s poorest people rings hollow. This is the fourth cut in 10 months – demonstrating that the Irish Government sees the aid budget as a soft target. This cut will have a devastating impact on vulnerable people who are already struggling to cope with the crushing impacts of the global financial crisis, the food crisis and climate change. These are difficult times for us all but it is not the time to abandon our commitment to tackling poverty and injustice. Ireland's international standing will be damaged even further by this decision to turn its back on the world’s poorest when they need our assistance most” said Jim Clarken, Chief Executive of Oxfam Ireland. read full story / add a comment

On Saturday 11th April, as part of the CAPS (www.captiveanimals.org) "Zoo Awareness Weekend", we will be having a protest outside Dublin Zoo in Phoenix Park, Dublin 8. Saturday will also officially mark the launch our new anti-zoo campaign. It's been many years since Dublin Zoo was protested, and so from May onwards, we will be demonstrating outside the zoo on the last Sunday of every month. We have created a new Zoo page on our website (http://www.naracampaigns.org/dublinzoo.html) with lots of information on it (given to us by CAPS), which also includes our newly compiled "Dublin Zoo in the Headlines: A Hidden Past of Abuse" Factsheet (copied below). read full story / add a comment
