22/01/2009 15:26:36 Brollach an Rapóirtéara: ón tSeanadóir Pearse Doherty an dearcadh s’agam go bhfuil an bás mall i ndán d’Iarthar na hÉireann mar gheall ar na ciorruithe. Níos luaithe sa bhliain, shuigh mé le bean bhródúil ó Iarthar na hÉireann, bean a chaith 60 bliain ag reáchtáil oifig an phoist áitiúil, a chuir glas ar an doras don uair dheireanach. Le hioncaim chomh íseal sin, ní raibh duine ar bith ann chun a háit a ghlacadh. Post eile caillte, seirbhís eile imithe. Ar an lá céanna, druideadh trí oifig an phoist eile in Iarthar na hÉireann. Ar an drochuair, ní ábhar iontais é an druidim san earnáil seo. Tá stáisiúin Garda, siopaí coirnéil agus pubanna áitiúla uile ag dul an bealach céanna. Toisc an daonra beag in iarthar na hÉireann, gur ceantar tuaithe é agus an leithlis a bhíonn ar chuid mhór daoine, mothaíonn pobail nach féidir leo deireadh a chur leis an mheathlú. Níl chluintear a nguth i ndorchlaí na cumhachta.

It is intended as a short briefing on the functioning of the Dáil and a simple explanation of specific areas that may be of interest to people operating in the community/NGO sector in attempting to make the best use of the Dáil. This briefing document is produced as a result of the EAPN Focus on Poverty in Ireland project, which started in December 2006. This project aimed to raise awareness of poverty and put poverty reduction at the top of the political agenda, while also promoting understanding and involvement in the social inclusion process among people experiencing poverty. This Guide is intended as an accompanying document to the EAPN Guide to Understanding and Engaging with the European Union. The overall aim in producing these two guides is to inform people working in the community and voluntary sector of how to engage with the Irish Parliament and the European Union in influencing policy and voicing their concerns about poverty and social inclusion issues.
