Paschal Mooney (Fianna Fail)

It must be a north Dublin thing. As I said at the outset, Fianna Fáil has attempted to provide responsible opposition and will continue to do so. We believe that elements of this budgetary strategy are not in the best interests of the Irish people as they will not encourage more spending and lift the economy. All we can do is point these matters out as we see them. I wish the Government well in its attempts to try to get us out of where we are. Any success it achieves in that regard will benefit all of us.
