PACUB (Parents against Child Unfriendly Budget) intend to march on 19th September alongside the People’s Alliance Against Cuts. PACUB are a large group of parents representing families who have bee most affected by the recent Irish budget cuts. These cuts have been taken but the proposed step to means test or tax child benefit is jst one step too far.
The Commission of Taxation recommended today in their report that Child Benefit should be taxed at source but a child benefit credit should be given to off-set the hike for low-income families.
PACUB have come together to create a single ‘voice of discontent’ to show their opposition to these proposals. PACUB invite you , your family and friends who are affected by this proposal to participate in the march on 19th. Log onto www.childbenefit.info for more information on the march.

I continue to be totally gob smacked at the sheer cheek of parents complaining at the proposed cuts in CB….did they not ever hear the old maxim….”he who dips his wick must pay for the oil”….why should I as a hard-working taxpayer pay for the result of your sexual pleasure….give me one good reason or, get real!!!!
