Minister for Finance Paschal Donohoe has dismissed any suggestion that his Budget decisions were influenced by Fianna Fáil or coalition colleagues.
The Minister and Taoiseach Leo Varadkar were speaking during a Facebook live event where they answered questions from TheJournal.ie readers about measures announced yesterday.
Donohoe said all of the decisions he made were based on commitments that were in his party’s election manifesto.
He rejected the suggestion that improvements in disability benefit and other welfare provisions were as a result of a push from people like Junior Minister Finian McGrath or the Fianna Fail party in general http://jrnl.ie/3642106
