Irish Adocates: Disability Service Cuts are Short-sighted

From the Irish Times:
Irish disability advocates yesterday attacked a government plan to cut home services for people with intellectual disabilities, saying it will actually cost more than leaving services intact.
Inclusion Ireland, http://www.inclusionireland.ie/ the national association for people with an intellectual disability, said maintaining home and educational supports would allow the government to avoid spending the €80,000 a year (about $120,000) per person that it costs to provide long-term residential care.
