2,100 positions lost, or moved with care,
A third of the total, a drastic share.

Voluntary redundancies, a choice to make,
1,200 jobs lost, with a future at stake,

McFadden leads by example, with a brave face,

But critics say, the cuts go too far and wide,
Harming the service, with a delicate stride,
