Michael McGrath (Cork South Central, Fianna Fail)

It relates to the Government's commitments on income tax and social welfare. The memorandum of understanding clearly states the Government may come up with alternatives which would raise the same amount of money as any proposed tax increases or payment cuts. Is that matter a priority for the Government in the context of the agenda for next week's meeting? This supplementary question is directly relevant to Question No. 1.
