Bho dh'fhuiling an eaconomaidh aca gu mòr ann an dà mhìle sa h-ochd, tha Innis Tìle air a bhith a' gearradh air ais gu mòr. Ach le buidseat air fàire an ath-sheachdain tha draghan a' nochdadh mun a' bhuaidh a bheir gearraidhean eile air seirbheisean - gu h-àraidh seirbheisean slàinte.

We also talked to medical experts and to the government, asking whether too much responsibility is being placed on charity in these austere times.

Croatian shipyards

Croatian shipyards
Croatia's largest shipyards have been state-owned since the days of Yugoslavia. They have withstood wars as well as the economic problems which followed. Today they provide work for thousands in cities like Rijeka, Pula, and Split. However, uncertainty looms.

Six out of seven of Croatia's state-owned yards have been losing money, accumulating debt, and continuing to operate only through state subsidies. However, Croatia's impending EU membership will to call an end to such subsidies. European laws prevent a government from propping up a shipyard through state subsidies. The Croatian government is now trying to sell its shipyards, looking for private investors to take them over and restructure them.

Darren Laing has been in Croatia, asking what this means for the industry and its workers.
