Lenihan falsely accuses FG of Euroscepticism

I WAS aghast to read so much anti-Fine Gael rhetoric in recent times about possible further EU scrutiny of the Irish budgetary process and taxation policies.

I was particularly surprised at Finance Minister Brian Lenihan’s comments about Fine Gael Finance Spokesman Richard Bruton.

Mr Lenihan mistakenly accuses Fine Gael and Deputy Bruton of Eurosceptism when he and Fianna Fáil know such a statement to be totally false.
