Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael)

-----in our so-called Christian country that is as unfair as what I saw last Wednesday for the carers, the disabled and the blind.

Every Minister with any gumption should be ashamed to walk up those steps to vote against the motion against these measures. I ask the Taoiseach not to divide the House tomorrow on an issue that is as sensitive as this, where there are defined numbers and cases. Many of those affected are in their houses having to put up with the cruel consequences of this Government cut. With so many other options available, will the Taoiseach tell us now that he will reverse these cuts?
