FG’s NewEra plan in doubt, says opposition

FIANNA FÁIL has welcomed the fact there will be no “fire sale” of assets, but says the report raises serious questions about Fine Gael’s NewEra plan.

NewEra envisages the sale of some state assets to fund a major economic stimulus package.

The Programme for Government says the coalition will use the McCarthy report to “target up to €2bn in sales of non-strategic assets” over time to finance the NewEra investment programme.
