Tom Parlon (Laois-Offaly, Progressive Democrats)

I will conclude because I could talk about the good news from this budget for a long time. It contains many other measures I did not have time to discuss. Importantly, I believe this budget will sustain our economic growth and create a more equitable society for all by cutting taxes, increasing social welfare payments, assisting parents with child care costs, investing in infrastructure and following a balanced budgetary policy.
