- Published: 07 July 2010
Up to 1,800 people took part in a demonstration in Dublin earlier today to protest against cuts in services for people with disabilities.
Protestors, led by intellectual disabilities support group Inclusion Ireland, walked from the Garden of Remembrance on Parnell Square to the Dáil. They carried banners saying "No to Cuts" and "Child neglect by proxy".
They had travelled from many parts of the country, including Ballinasloe Co Galway and Enniscorthy Co Wexford as well as from Dublin to take part.
