FG challenges Labour over alleged promise to Nick Kelly

Fine Gael’s Billy Timmons has asked the Labour Party to confirm if it has promised €300m to Co Wicklow if Councillor Nick Kelly is elected for Labour in the constituency.

Reports yesterday suggested that Labour leader Ruairi Quinn has offered the constituency a hospital, a third-level college and a decentralised government department if Mr Kelly is elected and if Labour is part of the next Government.
