Sinn Féin unveils pre-Budget proposals

Sinn Féin today revealed proposals to cut the budget deficit by over €4.5bn and invest in a €2bn jobs stimulus in 2011, also urging the imposition of salary caps for public servants including Dáil deputies.

Launching its pre-Budget submission in Dublin, the party's finance spokesperson Arthur Morgan said the measures would achieve the necessary savings while protecting frontline public services and those on low and middle incomes.
