Fine Gael today condemned the coalition Government's record at the launch of a pre-election billboard campaign.
Party leader Mr Michael Noonan said public services such as traffic, health care, housing, and education "have got worse rather than better" under the Fianna Fáil-Progressive Democrats coalition. "One of Fine Gael's key objectives in government will be to make these crucial public services the envy of Europe," he said.
He unveiled a series of billboards outside Government buildings, one of which shows a traffic jam with the caption: "Where are you spending your free time under Fianna Fáil?".
A Fine Gael spokesperson said the party has allocated €100,000 to the pre-election campaign, which includes billboards and posters.
It is designed to support the party's ardfheis next week where the Fine Gael general election campaign will be launched.
