Paschal Donohoe (Dublin Central, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I believe that the budget which we put in place is a sensible budget and the one that was best available for me to deliver to this Oireachtas. I do not accept that it was a reckless budget. There are specific points in the IFAC report that I accept. The ones I particularly accept, which the Deputy has outlined, relate to where we are with unplanned expenditure, particularly in health, and its impact on medium-term forecasts. I accept those points.
