The budget was a “squandered opportunity” to tackle Ireland’s housing crisis and deal with inequality, Sinn Féin has said.

The party’s finance spokesman Pearse Doherty also attacked the Government for doing “next to nothing” for the health service and said measures to deal with rising energy costs were “too little, too late”.
