Renua Ireland is hitting out at Fianna Fáil over claims the newer party has been 'ripping off' policy documents.

Renua Ireland has described claims it only has €11,000 "left in the kitty" as "creative" newspaper editing, but declined to explain exactly how much money it has available.

Renua is accusing the Government of using "the dog ate my homework" excuse in relation to the recent controversy at IBRC.
