Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

Fianna Fáil also cut core social welfare rates by €16 per week or 8% in budgets 2010 and 2011 without discussion. At least this Fine Gael-Labour Party Government has maintained core social welfare rates. I remind the Deputy that Fianna Fáil's four year plan which he is now disregarding intended to cut €1.5 billion from social welfare services. Therefore, the Deputy should not come in here the morning after the budget was announced with the opportunistic blather he goes on with all the time.
