Sinn Féin oppose Dublin City Council estimates

Dublin Sinn FÉin activists demonstrate outside city Hall on Monday 24 November over the ongoing cuts in public services and the decision by the decision by Labour and Fianna Fail councillors to vote for the City Councils Budget for 2009.
Sinn Féin City Councillor Daithí Doolan said: “Not enough was done to protect the people and business of Dublin from the Government’s chaotic handling of the economy. We could not support a budget that will have a very real and negative impact on life in this city.
He said the adoption of the budget would result in cuts to public services and projects.
“The people who will pay the price are those same people who were passed over by the Celtic Tiger”, Doolan said.
