National Protest
When: Saturday, 18th February, 2pm
Where: Garden of Remembrance, Parnell Square, Dublin 1; followed by march to the Dáil
Who: SPARK will be formally inviting trade unions, one-parent family organisations, local groups and individuals from all over the country to join them in an official protest against the unjust cuts to one-parent families in Budget 2012. One-parent families are a particularly vulnerable group in our society and the recent budget cuts will force an increasing number of families into homelessness and poverty. We ask you all to stand with us and show your support.
