Leo Varadkar (Dublin West, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

-----proposal from Sinn Féin. There is also a proposal for 20 tax hikes, raising €3 billion. When one's economic policy is based on 20 tax hikes raising €3 billion, it is not long before one must start hitting average people with those tax hikes. One might get away with this in one go, but if one raises that amount of money out of taxation over five years, it is not long before one starts hitting people on middle incomes. I think Sinn Féin would go into that space very quickly.
