Fine Gael Ministers Paschal Donohoe and Peter Burke have today (Wednesday) called on Sinn Féin to commit to retaining the €16bn that has been built up by the Irish Government, and its people, in the Future Ireland Fund and the Infrastructure, Climate and Nature Fund. 

Fine Gael’s Minister for European Affairs, Jennifer Carroll MacNeill, is calling on Sinn Féin to immediately withdraw its threat of a state-ordered review of RTÉ news coverage.

Sinn Féin’s alternative budget last month proposed retaining the temporary 9% rate for gas and electricity.  This proposal has disappeared from the party’s manifesto, a Fine Gael Minister has said.

Sinn Féin have been accused of making their childcare policy up on the go after their belated manifesto launch.

Sinn Féin’s manifesto fails to mention any changes to key supports for pensioners such as the Living Alone Allowance, Fuel Allowance, Free Travel Pass or Household Benefit Package according to a Fine Gael Minister.

Sinn Féin’s manifesto contains a commitment that amounts to political interfere in the independence and editorial process of our public service broadcaster, Senator Jerry Buttimer has said.

Sinn Féin has today confirmed the biggest heist ever on the island of Ireland with the raiding of carefully saved funds and throwing caution to the wind.

Fine Gael has announced a comprehensive plan to reduce the cost of healthcare and increase capacity and enhance access to disability services.

Fine Gael Minister for Enterprise Peter Burke has today called for Sinn Féin treasurer, Pearse Doherty, to immediately set out how the Sinn Féin General Election campaign is being funded.

The establishment of a dedicated Cork City Taskforce is positive news that will be broadly welcomed, a Fine Gael General Election candidate has said.
