Mon 05 May 2010European Parliament to be told of equality body cuts
THE CUTBACKS at the Equality Authority will be highlighted today when the European Parliament hears a complaint that Ireland is not in compliance with European law.
The Equality and Rights Alliance will make an oral submission to the parliament’s petitions committee, based on a written submission it made last September. The submission claims the authority’s effectiveness has been “significantly impaired and its independence undermined” due to cuts.
