Liam Twomey (Wexford, Fine Gael)

We were deliberately led astray by the Government. Even yesterday's showy reduction in the top rate of tax from 42% to 41% would have been laughable if it did not represent another blatant attempt to try to win votes in the next general election, although I can accept that the Government might try to pull one or two scams of that nature before the election in order to grab the attention of voters.
