Brid Smith TD on The Late Debate, 16.10.19 (2)

A Fine Gael councilor in Cork says services for marginalized groups just aren’t being used. I spoke to those providing them who say different. YOUTH, COMMUNITY AND ADDICTION SERVICES WERE DECIMATED BY AUSTERITY. In particular addiction services were run down, many closed down, and not re-opened – so that we could bail out banks. And now FG want to again blame the victims, like blaming the poor for poverty.
