Business and Leadership Magazine : Cutbacks mean more women unemployed
Published: Tuesday, September 29, 2009
Cutbacks proposed in the McCarthy report, along with others which pre-dated it, would push women out of the workforce and into welfare dependency and poverty, Susan McKay, director of the National Women's Council of Ireland, said today.
She was speaking from the platform of the national march of community workers, employers and activists, protesting against proposed cuts to community projects across the country. At least 5,000 people had gathered outside the Dail by 2.30.
