Age Action welcomed the consultation and is urging its members and supporters to get in- volved. “It is critical that this consultation focuses on the type and quality of care provided,” said Justin Moran. “We need proper regulation of homecare and a transparent, consistent, system of assess- ing care needs for older people. “Our homecare services are in crisis.

  • Don't Tax Our Health Choices!
    DON’T TAX OUR HEALTH CHOICES! From March 1st 2019 the Government will be applying VAT at 23% to all Vitamin, Probiotic & Food Supplements. These supplements have been VAT free for the last 40 years! A2 POSTER CODE: VAT03 A4 POSTER CODE: VAT04 +23% Available from Wholefoods VAT HEALTH IS NOT A LUXURY! SIGN THE PETITION TODAY! @stopthisvat www.stopthisvat.ie What is happening: The Revenue Commissioners have decided that on March 1st 2019, 23% VAT will be applied to all health food supplements. This includes Vitamins, Probiotics and Fish Oil. What does this mean? On March 1st 2019, retailers must apply 23% VAT to all health food supplements, resulting in a 23% price increase for consumers. Such a sudden and radical increase in taxation will put a huge strain on consumers and cause many to have to reconsider their approach towards managing their health. This is bound to seriously damage the local Irish businesses that are the cornerstone of the industry sector, particularly if consumers turn to the international Internet to try and obtain a better priced product. What can I do: • Sign the petition (online and in-store) which can be found at www.stopthisvat.ie. • Additional petition hardcopies are available from Wholefoods Wholesale (product code: VAT02). Wholefoods drivers will happily take completed petitions back from you. Please ensure that all petitions are returned to Wholefoods by February 18th. • Actively encourage customers to sign the petition and highlight what VAT will mean for their purchases. • Email or write to your local minister or TD.

  • Hare Coursing and Fox Hunting, You Are in the Majority of the Electorate
    Dear Voter, Thank you for taking the time to read our "Irish Politicians and Animal Issues" booklet. If you care about animals and are opposed to the cruelty of activities such as hare coursing and fox hunting, you are in the majority of the electorate. Despite most Irish people wanting cruelty ended, some politicians ignore this and shamelessly work to defend those involved in terrorising, injuring and killing wildlife. In the following pages, you will see where politicians stand. If TDs in your constituency have spoken in favour of cruelty in the past, please contact them now. Encourage them to respect the wishes of the majority and reconsider their stance. How you and your family vote in the next election will help determine if Ireland's next government is one which chooses to protect animals or protect animal abusers. Before you cast your vote, consider the views of each of the candidates. If particular candidates are not included in this booklet, question them directly. We also recommend watching our "Politicians" playlist at www.youtube.com/icabs We believe that Ireland will only ever achieve true greatness, when foxhunting, hare coursing and all forms of cruelty are permanently abolished here. On election day, please choose compassion over cruelty. Thank you.
