Kenny rules out pact with Labour in lead up to election

An Taoiseach Enda Kenny has promised to put more cash back in people’s pockets, and said Irish emigrants were not returning home because they would be “screwed” for tax.

Mr Kenny also ruled out Fine Gael and Labour forming a pact in the lead up to the general election.

Speaking at the MacGill Summer School in Donegal, he told a packed hall that Ireland was at a crossroads and the electorate would decide next year on the direction for the country.
