Gerry Adams (Louth, Sinn Fein) | Oireachtas source

I will repeat myself. Our alternative budget proposal provided the means to reverse this cut and costed it at €70 million. The Taoiseach has not contradicted that or challenged it. Neither has he challenged the fact that Fine Gael and Fianna Fáil can, between them, reverse this cut. The root of the problem is they decided not to. They decided in their confidence and supply agreement and in their budget last week that they would not include this. It was not included in the budget priorities.
