FG chaos on Budget

Posted on 04/03/09 by Billy Kelleher Fine Gael are in chaos on the public finances, says Labour Affairs Minister Billy Kelleher TD.

"This morning Enda Kenny gets up in the Dáil and welcomes the fact that there will be a supplementary Budget. This follows on from Fine Gael tabling a private members motion calling for a supplementary budget."

"Then Fine Gael frontbencher Alan Shatter rushes out a statement saying he has no confidence in Cowen's April Budget."

"Who is speaking for Fine Gael here? The party leader or Alan Shatter? Or is Alan Shatter trying to undermine Enda Kenny's leadership of Fine Gael in the same fashion as he undermined John Bruton's?"
