SF criticises 'budget of broken promises'

Sinn Féin has accused the Government of targeting the vulnerable and low and middle income families with the same failed austerity budgetary measures as pursued by Fianna Fáil.

Hitting out at what she labelled the “budget of broken promises” the party's public expenditure and reform spokesperson Mary Lou McDonald said: “Last night An Taoiseach told struggling families and working people that they were are not responsible for the crisis yet today the government has begun to deliver a budget targeting these very same people for a crisis not of their making.
