Galway Labour TD defends stance on Budget
Galway bay fm newsroom – Galway West Labour T.D, Derek Nolan, is defending a letter published in the Irish Times today where he said his party are not ‘austerity junkies’.
(August 2)
Deputy Nolan wrote the letter with 4 other party colleagues, in response to a letter previously published, where 8 Fine Gael backbenchers set out their view on the Budget options.
He says the Fine Gael TDs want more cuts in public spending even if that is more than is necessary to meet targets with the Troika.
Deputy Nolan says he and his colleagues signed up to the Programme of Government to save the country from bankruptcy, to do as much austerity as needed and not a cent more.

Protest is held at The Skerritt Roundabout over dangerous conditions for cyclists and pedestrians in the city
A group of approximately forty campaigners have been protesting at The Skerritt roundabout near ATU Galway over dangerous conditions that exist for cyclists and pedestrians on the streets of Galway.
The Sunday4Safety group, who also run demonstrations in Salthill, set up a pop-up pedestrian crossing at the roundabout.
Skerritt Roundabout was chosen as the location after a cyclist was seriously injured in a collision with a truck last month.
The group said that the extremely dangerous conditions for cyclists and pedestrians are replicated at many other roundabouts across the city.
Organiser Grainne Faller told John Mulligan that decision makers need to factor in safety when it comes to road and street design in Galway.
