Labour questions €900m extra tax intake

The Government has been urged explain how it will use a near €900m in extra tax funds this year to improve the lives of working families, writes Fiachra Ó Cionnaith, Political Correspondent.

Labour spokesperson on health, jobs, enterprise and innovation Alan Kelly (pictured) raised the issue in the Dáil today, insisting the money must be spent on water refunds, transport improvements and public sector pay hikes if Fine Gael really wants to spread the recovery to those who are continuing to struggle, despite the repeated talk of an economic recovery..
