SINN Féin is proposing €1.5bn of tax hikes and other measures mostly targeted at high earners and corporations to part-fund more than €18bn in extra spending next year. The extra spending in Sinn Féin's plan of €18.2bn, is more than €6bn more than the Government has signalled it will introduce on Budget Day. Mr Donohoe also said Sinn Féin will have to explain how they're calling for measures that he claimed they're "unable to implement" in Northern Ireland. Sinn Féin plan extra spending of €18bn, more than the current amount of €12bn flagged by the Government for its Budget plans. Sinn Féin's Mr Doherty has claimed that Mr McGrath plans to "pull the bunny out of the hat" on Budget Day.
