Martin: No cabinet split over budget

MINISTER Micheál Martin has scoffed talk of disunity within the Cabinet about how €4 billion in savings will be made in Wednesday’s budget.

He said reports that ministers were split on the controversial 12-day unpaid leave package for the public service were false.

On RTÉ’s The Week in Politics he confirmed there would be “tiered” salary cuts for public service workers, with those earning the most losing the most.
