In a Channel 4 News exclusive, Cordelia Lynch spoke with the mother of the 7 year old child from Tallaght taken into care by Gardai this week.

When the child’s mother is asked if there is a problem with the way Irish people view Romas, she replies:

“No we don’t have a problem with them but they do. We don’t know why, we haven’t done anything. We haven’t done crimes but they just hate us. Just because we’re wearing dresses and we’re Roma people. We haven’t done anything bad.”

Unless YOU choose otherwise.

From Reverse The Cuts:

To:  Joan Burton TD, Minister for Social Protection
Minister,

I strongly believe that Job Seeker’s payments to people under 26 must not be cut.

It is fundamentally unjust that young unemployed adults, who can vote and are required to pay income tax, are expected to accept lesser welfare payments than older people.

All this cut truly ‘incentivises’ is emigration – to a country where our youth and our talents are recognised.

Young people did not cause this crisis and we will not pay for it. This cut must be reversed.

If you agree you may sign here (all ages)
