Richard Bruton (Dublin North Central, Fine Gael)

I seek a "Yes" or "No" reply from the Minister. Will the cuts the Minister announced deliver a reduction of €2 billion in the borrowing requirement? If not, what will be the reduction? Is the Minister open to change in the pension levy given its unfair structure? Has the Government issued a directive to every State body, including commercial State bodies, that there must be no pay increases this year?
