Cianan Brennan: The Sinn Féin manifesto, what is doable, what is not?

Sinn Féin made a lot of promises in its manifesto. An awful lot of promises.

A spend of €22bn, twice the fiscal space that may be available, coupled with vows to reduce the pension age back to 65, fix the housing crisis, and reduce the logjam on health waiting lists, means that the party has backed itself into a bit of a corner in terms of what it is to deliver with the overwhelming mandate it has received.
