Pressure on Rainbow parties over stamp duty

PRESSURE has increased on the Rainbow parties to reveal when they plan to bring in stamp duty reform after they again offered only vague hints.

At their first joint press conference of the campaign, Fine Gael (FG) and Labour leaders Enda Kenny and Pat Rabbitte last night indicated their initiative would be implemented on day one if they took power, but refused to confirm this.

“Maybe myself and Pat will travel back from the Áras together to deal with it,” Mr Kenny said.
