€17m on emergency accommodation and €50m on the commemoration of 1916, anyone see anything wrong with this picture? What are our priorities in this country? Remembering a failed uprising or help the most vulnerable in society?
Anyone?

Even more astonishing is ZERO provision for Mental Health Services despite a youth suicide rate that's 2.5 times the EU average #budget16

Its 17million extra being spent on emergency accommodation, not 17million in total…
And what of those on hospital trollies….
70 mill in total, i believe.

€50m for events on commemorations – v €17m on homelessness…how would the signatories feel about that? #Budget16
the commemorations are guna be an absolute cringe-fest. They’ll be tryna do a The Gathering II. The government will just try use it as a tourism attraction.
They put the respite care grant back to 1700!!!
Pr@&ks!!!!
a) It wasn’t a failed uprising, the Rising was the beginning of the War of Independence
b) Everyone involved in the Rising would probably prefer that the homeless be housed, the sick cured, the country put back on track
..and the damn Tudor plantationers ousted from Ulster?
they just ended up being executed in Kilmainham jail, how successful is that ffs
