Fine Gael leader Enda Kenny has accused the Government of using the Budget to deal with the incompetence of the past rather than planning for the future.

Fine Gael leader Enda Kenny has accused the Government of using the Budget to deal with the incompetence of the past rather than planning for the future.

Speaking in the Dáil this morning, Mr Kenny said the Taoiseach and his ministers are simply subsidising problems rather than solving them.

He said the Government had spend the last 10 years wasting billions of euro in public money, as well as squandering opportunities to make real improvements to people's lives.

Mr Kenny also accused the Government of failing to use the Budget to deal with Ireland's energy needs and problems and of failing to introduce any measures to tackle homelessness.
