Connemara housing activists join Leinster House protest

Connemara housing activists today joined a protest at Leinster House, condemning recent funding cuts by Fóras na Gaeilge.

The body announced at the end of January it was making cuts of over 817 thousand euro.

Activists are calling on the Government to ensure the funding of services is increased, and to address the housing shortage in Gaeltacht communities.

They're calling for statutory powers and resources to be given to Údarás na Gaeltachta to establish a Housing Section.
