Programme for Government

Social Justice Ireland  has issued an initial response to the New Programme for Government.

Social Justice Ireland initial comments on new Programme for Government March 2011

The response identified commitments to be welcomed and areas of concern.  Vague and insufficient information in costs and changes in policy which will move Ireland away from a ‘welfare state’ approach move towards a ‘regulatory state’ approach are noted and commented upon.

This initial response is a very useful and reader-friendly introduction on the plan which will impact on our issues in the years ahead.

The Programme itself is also available on www.socialjustice.ie

Archbishop Oscar Romero

1917 - 1980

Archbishop Oscar Romero died from an assassin's bullet on March 24th 1980, in San Salvador, while celebrating Mass.

From the time of his appointment as archbishop in 1977, Romero spoke out regularly against the growing violence and violations of human rights perpetuated by the armed forces and paramilitary death squads in his country.

The day before he was killed, he directly addressed the country's soldiers in his weekly homily, pleading, "In the name of God, in the name of these suffering people whose cries rise to heaven more loudly each day, I implore you, I order you: Stop the repression".
