Minister for Foreign Affairs Micheál Martin has claimed Fine Gael is against policies which are vital to Ireland’s economic recovery.
He was speaking after Enda Kenny delivered his leader’s address to the Fine Gael national conference in Killarney last night.
“Enda Kenny and his colleagues confirmed that Fine Gael will not abide by Ireland’s agreement with the EU for controlling borrowing - a policy which would immediately drive up borrowing costs if it were implemented,” the Minister said.
“Over the last year the tough action to control borrowing has been central to bringing down the cost of financing the national debt and Ireland is being widely praised for being serious about tackling its problems.”
Mr Martin claimed the party’s policies would destroy the country’s progress.
“They are only interested in political posturing rather than offering a real plan for Ireland’s future,” he added.
