Brian Lenihan Jnr (Dublin West, Fianna Fail)

This budget serves no vested interest. Rather, it provides an opportunity for us all to pull together and play our part according to our means so that we can secure the gains, which have been the achievement of the men and women of this country. It is no less than a call to patriotic action. It is my great honour to commend this budget to the House.
