Charlie McConalogue (Donegal, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

I ask the Taoiseach for an update on the commitment made by Fine Gael during the most recent general election that if it was re-elected, it would abolish the universal social charge, USC, at a cost of €4 billion. Having been elected on that promise and now that the Government is two years into its mandate, I ask the Taoiseach where that commitment stands, considering that it will cost €4 billion and was the key central plank of the Fine Gael election campaign.
