The opposition lambasted the Government’s budget plans for 2024, with Sinn Féin’s Pearse Doherty accusing the coalition of only being on the side of landlords.

Speaking in the Dáil after Finance Minister Michael McGrath and Public Expenditure Minister Paschal Donohoe delivered their budget, Mr Doherty criticised the Government across both housing and health.
