The Minister of State attacks us for what we did four or five years ago but if he wants to go back some 40 years to attack us, he will need a new generation of scriptwriters because most people under 50 will not know what it is about. We know our political history, so we know what was involved. It is not true to state that money has not been ring-fenced since the removal of domestic rates and I am shocked that somebody would say that in the Chamber. Is the Minister aware of the local government fund?
