The Minister's reply to this last question reminded me that Wolfgang Schäuble was in town last week visiting the branch office, where he met his branch managers, Ministers Noonan and Howlin. I suppose they gave him a report on how the branch office is performing, in regard to the Deutschland project and to his boss, Prime Minister Merkel. The fact is the Minister for Social Protection, Deputy Burton, did nothing constructive in the budget.
