CROWDS OF people marched in the west of Ireland yesterday in protest against possible cuts in disability services.

About 1,000 people took part in a demonstration in Galway and about 50 protested in Castlebar, Co Mayo. The Galway march, hosted by the parents’ group Hope for Disability, was held in solidarity with Inclusion Ireland’s march in Dublin.
