Cutbacks target the most vulnerable

The pupils and staff of Rutland St Primary School have finally moved into their new building. People Before Profit welcome the new school, a hugely valuable resource to the children and parents of the North East Inner City. However, the savage cuts in education will cancel out the gain to the community. Cuts in the free school books scheme, special needs, language support, home school liaison teacher numbers and the school completion programme hit children from disadvantaged areas hardest.
Fightback
The work that schools, parents and communities have put in fighting for an equal chance for all children is being undermined. This is unacceptable and it can and must be reversed. Why should our children’s education suffer to pay for a crisis created by greedy bankers and developers? The massive education march on 6 December, which saw over 70,000 people on the streets and the pensioners’ protests before that, resulted in the Government backing down. This shows how we can fight the cutbacks and win. Continue Reading Cutbacks target the most vulnerable…
Hundreds march to defend the right to Community Creches
December 10, 2008 at 9:49 pm | Posted in Education, People Before Profit, Protest | Leave a commentTags: community, creche, Protest, SIPTU
Buses were organised from Ballyfermot, another créche marched from The Coombe, Roscommon was present as was Ringsend and many other creches from around Dublin city and nationwide.
Everyone was taking a stand- not about the low pay, not about the conditions but about their and other childrens futures. Fed up of being considered babysitters, creche workers supported by parents, politicians and the SIPTU Community Branch (who organised the protest) marched to the to the Office of Minister of Children, Hawkins House, Poolbeg St., Dublin 2, to hand in their letters
A protest was held earlier this morning in Cork to coincide with the Dublin protest.
