Pearse Doherty (Donegal, Sinn Fein)

The people of Ireland have had enough of all of that. They deserve so much better than being cheated year after year in every empty budget the Government has served up. We have a situation here where we have spending overruns in the billions. When one looks at the budget the Government produces, one wonders what the point is. Last year, the overruns were €4.6 billion or thereabouts.
