Fianna Fáil hit out at SF spending plans

Sinn Féin was today accused by a Government minister of threatening to create a ghetto economy ahead of the next General Election.

Fianna Fáil Communications and Marine Minister Noel Dempsey went on the offensive against Gerry Adams and his party, repeating claims by Taoiseach Bertie Ahern that Sinn Féin’s economic policies would be disastrous for the country.
