Government deputies are expressing significant concerns regarding the upcoming presidential election, particularly if Paschal Donohoe adheres to his commitment for an October budget without any financial giveaways. Such a budget could jeopardize the chances of Coalition party candidates from Fine Gael and Fianna Fáil, potentially allowing an opposition candidate to gain an upper hand. Additionally, there is apprehension that the candidates from both government parties may dilute their own votes, effectively 'cancelling each other out' and paving the way for a stronger opposition alternative.
Government TDs are experiencing increasing anxiety that a budget without giveaways shortly before the presidential election could lead to the downfall of Coalition party candidates.
