SF: Budget is 'anti-jobs and anti-investment'

Peadar Tóibín, Sinn Féin spokesperson for Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation has said Minister Brendan Howlin's Budget cuts announced today will cost jobs for local businesses.

Mr Tóibín said: "This budget is unfair, anti-jobs and anti-investment. The government already stated that it will cut capital budgets by €750 million, now it will cut an additional €1.4bn from public spending.
