Seán Ardagh (Dublin South Central, Fianna Fail)

Over the years, Deputy Burton has raised the issue of millionaires who have not paid taxes and the Minister for Finance has introduced measures to reduce the options for avoiding tax. The general election showed that the electorate agreed with the economic policies enunciated by the Minister. In the two or three weeks prior to the election, when people thought about the right way to vote, they decided in their hundreds of thousands for the economic policies set out in the Fianna Fáil manifesto. I congratulate Deputy Burton on her election, which was at the expense of a former Deputy who is not the greatest advocate of trust fund children or high wealth individuals.
