Burton: Labour will spare low and middle income families
The Labour Party has said it will produce a plan to fix the public finances which will not be targeted at lower or middle income families.
Labour has this morning begun a briefing with Department of Finance officials who will outline the true state of the public finances.
Yesterday, the Taoiseach Brian Cowen warned that economic growth and the tax take next year would be lower than previously expected - leading to much tougher Budgets ahead.
But on her way into the department of Finance, Labour's Joan Burton said her party will produce a plan which will not force low or middle income families to take all the pain.
