Martin: Hayes comments on pensioners 'careless'
Fianna Fáil leader Micheál Martin has today said that the recent remarks by Junior Finance Minister Brian Hayes, suggesting that some elderly people be taxed more, had been "careless".
He said the Minister’s claims flew in the face of warnings from the Tánaiste last week against “kite flying” ahead of the Budget and added that Ms Burton had been clearly irritated by them.
