Date Published: 06-Dec-2012

The Labour Party chairman and Galway East TD Colm Keaveney is describing the PRSI measures in the budget as a ‘regressive form of taxation’

Deputy 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.
