Independent TD cals on Labour Party TDs to oppose health cuts

 

 

Independent T.D Seamus Healy is calling on Deputy Alan Kelly and other Labour T.D's to insist that the barbaric health cuts announced on Friday last be halted.

Deputy Healy describes Labour Leader Eamonn Gilmore's comments on the cuts as hypocritical.

The South Tipp representative says at least three of the eight cost cutting proposals in the HSE plan will affect older people or the disabled exclusively.

He has already sought an emergency meeting of the Oireachtas Health Committee, of which he is a member, with a view to stopping these cuts.
