Taoiseach accused of 'misinformation' after stating Sinn Féin deleted budget

Taoiseach Simon Harris has been accused of “deliberate misinformation” after he suggested in the Dáil that Sinn Féin’s alternative health budget had “vanished like Shergar” from its website.

If you Google “Sinn Féin alternative health budget 2024”, a broken link does appear. However, if you go onto the party’s website, as the Taoiseach encouraged people to do on Tuesday to read the document, it is still available.On Tuesday, Mr Harris stated that Sinn Féin’s alternative budget pledged less to health than the Government had allocated.

“I’d like to know after I raised the issue of Sinn Féin's alternative budget for health why it disappeared and vanished like Shergar from your website,” Mr Harris told the Dáil. “More deliberate misinformation from Taoiseach after getting caught out yesterday deliberately spoofing about Sinn Fein just like Helen McEntee caught out last week on Morning Ireland deliberately misrepresenting Sinn Féin policy,” he wrote on X.
