Odds cut on another FF/PD coalition

Paddy Power have cut the odds on a Fianna Fáil/PD coalition from 5/4 to even odds after Brian Cowen delivered his Budget speech to the house earlier today.

Paddy Power spokesperson Sharon McHugh said: "Today’s Budget was positive in a number of areas, such as first time buyer mortgage relief, income tax reductions and OAP contributions. The House also seemed happy, often breaking out in applause. Cowen’s Budget speech has ensured growing support for Fianna Fáil ahead of next year's election."
