Sinn Féin will lump taxes on working families, increase inheritance tax and make the country less attractive for business, a Fine Gael Minister has said.

Sinn Féin’s hypocritical approach to the supply of homes is laid bare today as the party objected to, voted against, or attempted to hinder at least 11,687 homes from being built in the capital since 2018, Fine Gael Minister Peter Burke has said.

Sinn Féin leader Mary Lou McDonald and the party’s national treasurer Pearse Doherty must offer clear explanations on the latest set of revelations concerning their party accounts and declarations, a Fine Gael Minister has said.

New documents from the country’s election spending watchdog show they queried “difficulties” in the returns Sinn Féin was forced to make after failing to declare €7,000 on a UK commissioned opinion poll. 

A Sinn Féin commissioned General Election poll costing €7,000 was excluded from their SIPO returns for almost two years until a reporter contacted them about it, Fine Gael Minister Peter Burke has said.

Mary Lou McDonald and Sinn Féin need to explain why they amended their 2020 General Election SIPO returns two years later, a Fine Gael Minister has said.

The new and updated Planning and Development Bill will bring about critical reform to our planning system, enabling us to deliver housing and infrastructure at a quicker pace, a Fine Gael Minister of State has said.

New guidelines on rural housing are set for public consultation before Christmas.

Energy credits and a double child benefit payment to assist with the cost of living would not have been possible if Sinn Féin’s energy price caps or Summer mini budget had been implemented, a Fine Gael Minister has said.

Sinn Féin is a high-tax, anti-jobs party and would wreck the economy if given the chance, a Fine Gael Minister has said.
