Dáil returns: Fianna Fáil's budget proposals ‘pie in the sky’
On top of changes which were hammered out with Fine Gael as part of the confidence and supply agreement, Fianna Fáil want to suspend water charges indefinitely, increase the State pension by €5, and provide an additional €100m to fund third level education as part of the upcoming budget.
However, last night government sources said Fianna Fáil’s “feet need to be held to the fire” with regard to proposals they are putting forward outside the agreement.
