Confidence in the Taoiseach and the Government: Motion
5:00 am
Pat Rabbitte (Dublin South West, Labour)
The relevant section reads:
Noel Dempsey grabbed one adviser in the corridor of the hotel a few hours before the speech was delivered. 'What the fuck is going on?', he hissed. Eventually copies of the speech, along with the briefing document on the tax changes it proposed, the pension promises and the associated costings, were hastily put into envelopes and handed to the cabinet .... Two points off the standard rate of income tax, one point off the higher rate, the halving of the rate of PRSI, increasing the old age pension to €300 a week-----
