Paschal Donohoe says government plans are sustainable despite calls to cut spending or raise taxes
The Finance Minister is defending the government's spending plans, after criticism from the Central Bank.
The bank is warning the proposed Budget package of 9 point 4 billion euro is unnecessarily big.
It says the government must cut back on its infrastructure budget or raise taxes to sustain its current spending.
Minister Paschal Donohoe says he respects the bank's position, but is confident about his spending plans:
