Brian Hayes says Ireland should try to surpass the EU’s budget targets for 2014 – a move which will mean a bigger budget and more austerity.
The minister says Ireland has built up a reputation of always beating its targets, and shouldn’t stop now.
Minister Hayes says overcoming the targets will make it easier to escape the bailout and borrow money independently.
