Budget 2015 should ‘bed down recovery’, says FF

Fianna Fáil have said they will not succumb to "auction" politics after launching budget proposals it says are designed to stabilise the economy, rather than reward recession-hit voters.

The party have proposed further tackling the country’s deficit, over giving people tax breaks.

It also claimed that giving in to Sinn Féin’s budget promises to drop charges and return benefits would “kill the economy”.
