Yesterdays budget was about recognising that people are struggling & protecting people from the shocks being caused by cost of living spikes.
The @sinnfeinireland criticism was written weeks ago, it’s the same old stuff. Opposition for opposition sake. In their alternative housing budget they budgeted €302M for a tax credit which would cost €600M. They say they will deliver more social homes next year but base their costings on pre-2021 figures - before war, double digit inflation&supply chain issues

The numbers don’t add up
