The party's TDs and Senators are meeting in Wexford
The annual Fine Gael think-in takes place later.
The party's TDs and Senators are meeting in Wexford today (10 September) and tomorrow (11 September), to prepare for the return of the new Dáil term.
Simon Harris will address the party ahead of his first budget as Finance Minister, when he's expected to emphasise the importance of rewarding "hard work" and delivering better public services.
Issues like stamp duty have been an area of contention between himself and Taoiseach Micheál Martin in recent days, the Taoiseach remarking that options remain on the table.
However, the Tánaiste was quick to pour cold water on the idea.
He has also reiterated that energy credits of recent years will not be returning to the budget, hoping to finalise more long-term, “structural” changes in the weeks ahead.
In contrast, Sinn Féin leader Mary Lou McDonald has suggested they’re necessary to ensure households and businesses can manage soaring costs this winter.
