http://gaelport.com/sonrai-nuachta?NewsItemID=2617 http://gaelport.com/sonrai-nuachta?NewsItemID=2613 I was reading the headlines on Gaelport.com today and noticed that
Irish organisations could be in for a big hit if the expenditure review group's proposals are accepted. In short, if all the proposals of 'An Bord Snip Nua' were put into action, it would result in:
- potential €5.3bn in savings
- 17,300 public service job cuts
- a 5% drop in social welfare.
That's my understanding, anyway.
Included in the recommendations:
-
The closure of the Department of Community, Rural & Gaeltacht Affairs - Reduction in State funding for TG4
- Reduction in Gaeltacht grants
- the enterprise functions of Údarás na Gaeltachta being taken over by Enterprise Ireland (EI).
What are the chances that this might actually happen??
