Enda Kenny
DUBLIN (Reuters) – Ireland’s senior
coalition party Fine Gael would use a quarter of the additional 10 billion
euros it estimates will be available during the next government’s five-year
term on tax cuts if it is re-elected later this month, it said on Thursday.
Ireland’s prime minister called
elections for Feb. 26 on Wednesday, kicking off a campaign set to be dominated
by a fractious debate over how the resources freed up by the country’s strong
economic recovery should be spent.
Enda Kenny’s Fine Gael, whose lead is
slipping in opinion polls that suggest an inconclusive outcome, said it would
use 40 percent of the resources on spending, invest 10 percent in jobs and save
the other 25 percent in a contingency fund.
