#Budget19: 'If Leos’s choir cheers it like an election budget, well then it is an election budget', says Burton

Update: Labour's Joan Burton has said that while listening to Paschal Donohoe delivering today's budget it was former minister Charlie McCreevy that she was reminded of "as if we were back to the grand old days".

"Budget prudence goes out the window when there is an election in the air," said Ms Burton.
