Government embarrassed by revelations ahead of budget

A SERIES of embarrassing expenditure revelations over the weekend has undermined the credibility of the Government as it prepares to deliver its budget.

As Enda Kenny last night attempted to appease the nation ahead of the Coalition’s first major attempts at stabilising the public finances, questions were being asked about pay-outs.

The stories broke at the worst possible time for the Government, which needs the public’s confidence now more than ever.
