GALWAY, IRELAND – An Bord Snip’s recommendations amount to no more than Facist practices targeting the vulnerable in society. That is the opinion of a local Labour councillor, who is calling on the government to come up with progressive alternatives to what he calls a “senseless programme of cutbacks”.

In a stinging attack on the Bord’s proposals, Cllr Niall McNelis said, “Now more than ever, progressive forces need to unite against right-wing attacks on public services and on our vulnerable citizens, the old, the young and the sick.
