Financial Resolutions 2012: Financial Resolution No. 13: General (Resumed) (7 Dec 2011)

Dara Calleary: What we need is a commitment to match the rhetoric. People talk about jobs and a budget that has been job creation proofed. Those who create jobs should be given some protection.

Social Welfare Bill 2011: Second Stage (8 Dec 2011)

Dara Calleary: Many of the budget day traditions have been changed, as this year the budget was delivered over two days with various presentations. A change from the scene of previous years was that the now Minister, Deputy Burton, used to come to the House and put herself into apoplexy in language and tone describing various measures in the budget which she abhorred and which horrified her. She threw...
