Bruton: Govt unfit to run corner shop

Fine Gael's finance spokesperson has accused the Government of being unfit to run the finances of a corner shop.

Richard Bruton was speaking in the Dáil, where the Tánaiste, Mary Coughlan, came under attack this morning for calling for the revised financial estimates to be agreed without debate.

Mr Bruton said the Government did not have a clue what it was doing and was overseeing "a totally failed budgeting system".
