Taoiseach Micheál Martin refutes claims that Fine Gael blocked Fianna Fáil housing proposals during pre-budget negotiations, while confirming fuel-related measures are under consideration ahead of the October 6 budget. The dispute highlights coalition friction over housing policy, a key political issue in Ireland. The outcome of budget talks remains uncertain, with potential implications for coalition stability.
