WATCH: ‘Upbeat’ video shows Tánaiste ‘completely out of touch’

Labour leader Joan Burton has been criticised for being “completely out of touch” after releasing a ‘feelgood’ video, which suggests that families now have more disposable income thanks to her party’s policies.

The video, which has been posted on YouTube and Facebook, shows a young couple discussing home renovations with builders and stating: “It’s great to be able to finally do the kitchen.”

The upbeat footage is also accompanied by a written message from the Tánaiste, reminding families they have the Labour party to thank for putting more money in their pockets.
