Mr. John Dolan:

Yes. The same happens everywhere when two things happen at the wrong time. Some 80% to 90% of costs, be it for the State or a voluntary organisation, cannot reduce in the short to medium term under the Croke Park Agreement. This, coupled with the €2 in savings achieved as a result of service reductions, €1 of which will go into the Exchequer pot, leads to a loss of services for people. This is the quandary. The community and disability sector wants to work with Government and everybody else to keep services in place. We need leadership and signposting from Government to do so effectively.
