Human Rights and Equality Infrastructure
The Rights of People with Disabilities
The only task left to me is to close this blog carnival. Today, we have discussed the rights affected in a very academic sense. What we have done is show you the reality of this budget for a segment of the population living in the Republic of Ireland. This budget will have a minimal impact on some, a more appreciable impact on most, and a noticable impact on the less well off.
Rather than draw conclusions from the posts above, I will allow you to draw your own conclusions. Did we neglect to discuss the dire economic situation which Ireland is facing? Did we properly discuss the fact that billions of Euro are being spent on bank and business subsidies? Did we properly question the whole economic system upon which Budget 2010 is based? Is the economic system which much of the world has in place conducive to human rights protection? These are issues not only for the Republic of Ireland to face, but for the globe at large.
