It is a budget about getting people back to work. I realise Sinn Féin and perhaps the Acting Chairman might disagree on some of the aspects of the budget but they will join me in welcoming the fact that the Government is putting people first, creating jobs and putting our country on a sound economic footing. We must recognise the sacrifice and the role played by our citizens.
