Fine Gael launches climate change manifesto while highlighting policy differences with Sinn Féin

Fine Gael has promised to allocate €2bn of carbon taxes towards the insulation of old homes as ministers appealed to voters to judge the party on its record in government.

The climate change commitments came as Paschal Donohoe launched a blistering attack on Sinn Féin policies, insisting they are anti-EU and will destroy jobs.
