Government accused of 'playing fast and loose' with taxpayers' money over broadband plan

The Government have been attacked for "playing fast and loose" with taxpayers' money by allowing broadband and other projects go billions over budget.

Fianna Fáil leader Micheál Martin said the National Development Plan is now "in shreds" and Finance Minister Paschal Donohoe can no longer say he will find the extra money for spiralling costs of rural broadband, the national children's hospital and the proposed metro in Dublin.
