Fight for a Real Alternative – Join the Socialist Party

Fiona O’Loughlin spoke to Tracey who lives in Clondalkin with her 18 month old son.

Fiona: How have the cutbacks in recent budgets affected you and your family?

Tracey: “I am single parent and I work part-time two days a week. My childcare costs me €75 per week so losing the early child care supplement will hit me very bad. I was getting €93 per month and this will now be cut to €45 per month until December but then it’s gone altogether. Between this and the other cutbacks I don’t know if it will be worth my while staying in work, even though I want to.
