The Minister's unedifying response is a distraction from his commitment to provide for the most vulnerable people. If he was less focused on providing for the pensions of retired politicians and more enthusiastic about providing resources for people with disability, I would not be asking this question today. Will the Minister reverse the cuts he strategically planned against people with disabilities? The Government's tax profile was allegedly ahead by €800 million. Is it on the back of cuts to disability services that the Minister approached the budget and tax profile?
