A LARGE crowd gathered outside Kings Island Community centre this Monday to protest during a visit to Limerick by Taoiseach Brian Cowen.
The Taoiseach was heckled by a group of protestors who were demonstrating against cuts in respite services.
The Brothers of Charity have been forced, through HSE cutbacks, to make over €1m in savings which the protesters say will directly effect parents caring for family members with an intellectual disability.
The Taoiseach gave the angry group a personal commitment that he would look into the matter.
