An MHK has criticised the Treasury Minister for 'playing hardball' in this year's budget.
Ramsey member Lawrie Hooper says it's unrealistic to restrain funding but still expect a high level of public services.

Mr Hooper is concerned there's inadequate support for services like the NHS and the Constabulary:
