ERA present petition to European Parliament
May 31st 2010
Equality & Rights Alliance presented its petition to the EU Parliaments petition committee setting out our case that the cuts to the Equality Authority have seriously undermined the agency's ability to function effectively and independently as required under EU equality Directives.
Speaking at the debate to support ERA were MEPs Proinsias De Rossa, Marian Harkin and Joe Higgins.
The decision of the Petitions Committee is to write to the Irish Government asking them to account for the significant cuts imposed and to explain how the Equality Authority can effectively discharge its functions under EU Directives given the scale of the cuts imposed.
The Committee also agreed that the ERA petition should remain open.
