COLM KEAVENEY SAYS CAMPAIGN TO STOP PROBLEMATIC BUDGET ELEMENTS NOW UNDERWAY

Date Published: 06-Dec-2012

The Labour Party chairman and Galway East TD Colm Keaveney says a campaign to stop "problematic" parts of the budget is now underway.

Although he voted last night with the Government to increase taxes on alcohol and ciggarettes, he is lobbying for a reversal of some of the cuts before they are brought to a vote.

This morning, the Campaign Against the Household and Water Taxes will outline its opposition to the property tax.
