I had forgotten to make this one point. I note that the Society of St. Vincent de Paul's submission highlights, under the headings of both the Department of Finance and the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform, the need to look at tax increases rather than cuts. I respect this. The society, which has a wide reach across the country at every level, sees the effect of these things. I pay close attention to it.
