Paschal Donohoe (Dublin Central, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

We have made an adjustment of 0.5% in national income arising from expected economic growth next year. The rate has been reduced by that amount. This has been built into our expectations for how much revenue will be available to spend, as well as into our tax plans. We are not proposing a further change. Our colleagues in the media are always with us and I am sure they will be commenting on the Deputy's words.
