Budget should about protecting lower paid and creating jobs

In an interview, Mary Lou McDonald said she supports the public service workers and wants to see social welfare rates protected. Sinn Fein has offered an alternative to the slash and burn economics of the government which seem to be being accepted by the other political parties. By raising taxes while stimulating the economy and protecting the lower paid, the deepening of this recession can be avoided.

Sinn Féin is opposed to the government's policy of cutting the incomes of low paid workers and those on social welfare. It's bad for people and bad for the economy. Watch the video for the complete interview.
