Michael Noonan (Limerick City, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

It is a road on which the milestones are prudence and caution. It is a road that delivers stable economic growth, encourages investment, rewards work, creates job opportunities and delivers high quality public services. It is a road on which citizens have certainty about their incomes and can plan for the future without fear of another bust; it is a new road to a new Ireland. I know the road the Government will take. I commend the budget to the House.
