Barrett sets out Labour Commitments

Hi folks...this is an excerpt from our commitments for change. Please read. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

For this election, Labour Party Candidate, Harry Barrett has made it clear what Labour's top five priorities will be. These are five Commitments for Change which he and the Labour Party are promising to deliver in government. Barrett maintains that these five key areas will address some of the pressing concerns facing thousands of people, both young and old throughout the county.

Barrett explains, "After ten years of FF/PD government, we have a crisis in health, housing, childcare, public order and they way in which we treat our carers. These five commitments are not the only things that Pat Rabbitte and the Labour Party will achieve in government, but are five Commitments that Pat Rabbitte promises to deliver in office. The actual commitments are: 1.More beds in clean hospitals. 2.Pre-school education for all our children. 3.More community Gardaí on the beat in Mayo towns and villages. 4. Abolish the means test for carers in Mayo . 5.Enable more people to begin to buy a home. These are key concern to many, young and old all over the county. In particular, our joint policy on health, with Fine Gael, contains solid proposals to address the bed shortage in our acute hospitals and the pressures facing young couples to pay for access to a proper health system.

Speaking about his Commitments for Change, Cllr. Johnnie Mee said, "The Labour Party is going to bring about change in this election. People have rightly been asking me what difference change will make- these 5 commitments for change will make that clear. I want to impress upon voters, that if the Labour Party is elected to government, we will introduce these set of changes that will have a positive impact on their quality of life. A vote for our Labour candidate, Harry Barrett will assist in bringing this about.

"This election is going to be about the quality of life of hard working families in communities all over Mayo. The Labour party is committed to a strong economy which continues to generate prosperity for the people. It is time now to deliver on a better quality of life that this prosperity provides us with- and to do that we need to make a change."
