Fine Gael

Today, Finance Minister Paschal Donohoe delivered the Summer Economic Statement. It outlines how Fine Gael will invest in our public services and build a better country for all.

Fine Gael wants to build a better Ireland. Today, we have announced a once-in-a-generation plan to transform our country.

It’s time to deliver better and faster infrastructure in Ireland, and under my leadership, Fine Gael is committed to making it happen. The Government is investing €200 billion to transform how we deliver new homes and the services that support them.

SuperValu shops are in towns and villages across the country. They back the GAA, Tidy Towns, and local communities across Ireland. It’s Irish through and through.

Ireland‘s public finances are in a strong position and a record number of people are at work. We will meet any potential challenges ahead from this position of strength.

Today, @jgeoghegantd is introducing legislation to reform Compulsory Purchase Orders for vacant & derelict buildings in Dublin. This would give Local Authorities the ability to deliver more housing & bring empty properties back into use. Read: finegael.ie/reform-cpo-sys…

I am delighted to announce that @McGuinnessEU has been officially nominated by @FineGael to run for President of Ireland 🇮🇪   Mairead has all the attributes to bring our nation together at this important time.

📚✏️From today, 126,000 families will receive help with back-to-school costs. €160 for children aged 4-11 and €285 for children aged 12 and over. This is one of the ways Fine Gael is supporting families right across the country.

🐎🛜Fine Gael’s National Broadband Plan Steeple Chase🏇🛜 Kilkenny, Westmeath, and Longford — who will come out on top as the county with the most premises able to receive high-speed broadband?

Fine Gael was the only party who had the plan and the vision to deliver rural broadband to every home, business, school, and farm across the country — and that’s exactly what we’re doing. Fine Gael delivers.

🛜This is a game-changer: 134,238 homes, businesses, farms, and schools across Ireland can now receive high-speed broadband. Fine Gael led on this initiative when no one else supported it and now we are making it a reality — on time and on budget. Fine Gael delivers.

To increase the supply of apartments, Fine Gael is removing requirements for a certain number of one-bedroom and three-bedroom apartments in every development. There will be no downgrading of fire, accessibility, or environmental standards.

Congratulations on your reelection, dear @Paschald. Our continued cooperation is key in delivering on our competitiveness agenda - for the Euro area and for all of our Union.

Congratulations to @Paschald on being re-elected President of the Eurogroup.

I want to warmly congratulate my friend and colleague @paschalthetd on his re-election as President of the Eurogroup. This is a major personal achievement and a proud moment for @FineGael and for Ireland 🇮🇪🇪🇺
