I will endeavour to respond to the variety of issues raised by members. Deputy Boyd Barrett and I will probably disagree on this point but I do not accept the logic that this Government is not taking any action to protect lower income workers and people on the lower end of pay scales. I reference the fact that 410,000 people who were paying the USC when we came to office will now not be paying it.
