Unless those private sector workers are working, there will be no taxes coming in to pay public servants. The majority of public servants understand this. We must get the public finances and the economy back in shape or nothing else will happen.

I welcome the level of capital spending in which the Government has engaged. No other country in the developed world is spending such a percentage of national wealth on capital projects. Roads are being built in Meath East, with new rail lines being planned for it.
