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

I thank the Acting Chairman. I am glad to hear Deputy Wallace agree with me on a point. Who says the new politics have achieved nothing? The Deputy has acknowledged I am correct in saying that if we had reduced current expenditure even more, he would have criticised us for it. To clarify, however, I did not say I was against PPPs. That seems clear given that we are availing of a large number of them at this time. I simply said we must take great care in regard to their use in the future.
