NEW OFFICE IN ROSCREA
Posted on September 12, 2010 by Alan Kelly
I was delighted to recently open my new office in Roscrea. The official opening was performed by my party leader Eamon Gilmore T.D. I was delighted to see such a huge crowd turn out for the event. In particular I want to mention Tommy Murphy who ran for us in Roscreea in the last election and who recently lost his wife, Joan and Michael Shanahan, whose father the late Tommy Shanahan was a Labour Coucillor for the area for many years.

Education cuts reflect this government's lack of Vision

Over the last few weeks, I have spoken to teachers, members of boards of management and parents and they cannot understand why this government are picking on children. Fianna Fail promised to cut class numbers to 20/1 in 2002 and to 24/1 in 2007 in their election manifestos and here they are increasing them to 28/1. We have the highest class sizes in the EU and this Government have shown that they are willing to make children and their teachers suffer for their complete mismanagement of the economy. Despite their promises, they are targeting the most vulnerable.
