Party’s traditional stance endorsed by TDs and Senators following private meeting in advance of planned neutrality forums
“The feeling in the meeting was that up and down the country, Fianna Fáil members are very much against any move towards Nato,” a source said.
Fine Gael also held a parliamentary party meeting focused on the forthcoming budget, with a number of TDs stating that they want to see significant progress on reducing childcare costs in Budget 2024. It comes after Taoiseach Leo Varadkar said last weekend in an interview with The Irish Times that he was not sure if the Government could implement a full 25 per cent cut in childcare costs this October.
Minister for Public Expenditure Paschal Donohoe said it was the “second time Fine Gael had a budget surplus”, and this year’s would be used responsibly and “to a high standard”.
