Social Welfare and Pensions (No. 2) Bill 2009: Second Stage (Resumed)
7:00 pm
Paul Gogarty (Dublin Mid West, Green Party)
I have been criticised for ensuring that protection because it has meant that other areas have been hit harder. However, we had to make a choice between protecting our children to ensure our future economic prosperity and social cohesion or cutting our education budget. I make no bones about protecting education over other areas. Other areas have suffered a little bit more because of it.
