Draft Stability Programme Update: Engagement with Minister for Finance
Pearse Doherty (Donegal, Sinn Fein) | Oireachtas source
Late last year, the Minister planned to cut the PUP. He set out a plan to cut it in January and again in subsequent months. We disagreed with that plan but regardless of the political decision the plan was abandoned as we saw how Covid got a grip on society. It appears now that the plan is about to be refloated in the second half of the year. Is that the case or is it scaremongering? Will the PUP continue for the remainder of 2021?
