No side to pressure Government over jobs promises

Anti-treaty parties said pressure would be applied on the Government to uphold promises of jobs made during the campaign, and accused the yes side of winning the vote through fear.

Sinn Féin also said they wanted the Government to produce an easier budget later this year, after it was claimed during the campaign that a yes vote would allow for this.

Reacting to defeat in Dublin Castle, Sinn Féin leader Gerry Adams said: “Those who were suffering most from austerity voted no. We’ll try and keep the Government to their promises.”
