CDPs will part in a national SIPTU march tomorrow (September 30th) in Dublin to defend community resources from McCarthy cuts. For more see: www.siptu.ie/community
It comes from people involved in Community Development throughout the country as we stand up for our communities rights to fair play. The Government is playing a card-game with people's lives. Cutting funding to the poorest communities just because they are (perceived as) too weak to protest makes crude political sense, but is stinks from a moral viewpoint.
The 180 Projects in the Community Development Programme will not see out the year if the cutbacks continue.
Our CDPs are united on the issues, have organised at national level. We will stand up for disadvantaged communities nationally.
