The Weekly Digest

A budget with no direction from a government with no vision

Mary Lou McDonald has described Budget 2022 as 'a budget with no direction from a government with no vision’.

The party’s Finance Spokesperson Pearse Doherty delivered to Sinn Féin response to the budget on Tuesday afternoon in the Dáil saying it was a budget with no answers to the big questions in health, housing and the cost of living.  He was also scathing of the fact that there is nothing in the budget to help renters struggling with sky high rents.

Public Expenditure spokesperson Mairéad Farrell said the government either doesn’t understand or doesn’t care about the gravity of the issues facing people.

Buiséad gan aon treoir ó rialtas gan aon fhís

Chuir Mary Lou McDonald síos ar Bhuiséad 2022 mar 'bhuiséad gan aon treo ó rialtas gan aon fhís’.

Thug Urlabhraí Airgeadais an pháirtí Piarais Ó Dochartaigh freagra Shinn Féin ar an bhuiséad tráthnóna Mháirt sa Dáil ag rá gur buiséad é gan aon fhreagraí ar na ceisteanna móra i gcúrsaí sláinte, tithíochta agus costas maireachtála. Bhí sé scanrúil freisin nach bhfuil aon rud sa bhuiséad chun cabhrú le cíosóirí atá ag streachailt le cíosanna fíor-arda. 

Dúirt urlabhraí Caiteachais Phoiblí, Mairéad Ní Fhearáil, nach dtuigeann nó gur cuma leis an rialtas a thromchuisí is atá na saincheisteanna atá os comhair daoine.

The days of 'No Nationalist need apply’ are gone

Michelle O’Neill has said the decision on who will be First Minister in the North after the next election will not be a choice for the DUP or the UUP.  She said it will be for the people to decide and the days of 'No Nationalist need apply’ are gone and are not coming back.

Tá na laethanta 'Ná hiarraidh Náisiúntaithe é’ imithe

Dúirt Michelle Ní Néill nach rogha don DUP ná don UUP an cinneadh maidir le cé a bheas ina Chéad Aire sa Tuaisceart i ndiaidh an chéad toghcháin eile. Dúirt sí gur faoi na daoine a bheas sé cinneadh a dhéanamh agus go bhfuil na laethanta 'Nár hiarraidh Náisiúnaithe é’ imithe agus nach bhfuil siad ag teacht ar ais.
