Motor Vehicle (Duties and Licences) Bill 2003: Second Stage (Resumed).

 

Cuts and levies have come one after another in agriculture, totalling around €200 million in the last budget, something which affects farmers nationwide. There have been cuts in community employment schemes which support the community in every parish. There was a huge cut last November and we are promised a further 20% cut in the schemes this fall. Teachers and students across the country are walking out of schools today to protest at cuts in the schools building programme announced in the budget.
