Harney warns of tax hike under FG/Labour

THERE could be a hike in taxes if Fine Gael and Labour get into Government, warned Tánaiste Mary Harney.

She claimed that both parties could raises taxes if returned to Government in order to resource their spending policies.

In her leader's address to the Progressive Democrats conference in Limerick this weekend, Ms Harney said both parties only reluctantly committed themselves to a low-tax philosophy.
