It was a walkover akin to the kittens sent in to negotiate with the IMF. Where is the compromise? Where are the measures to capture some of the significant wealth that has accumulated in this State since the Celtic tiger? Ordinary people did not benefit from it. Where is the Green Party input on capturing some of that wealth to alleviate the burden on those on lower incomes or welfare payments? I do not see it. Fianna Fáil and the Green Party made no effort to deal with this issue.
