- Leaders' Questions (2 Dec 2015)
Enda Kenny: If that is the extent of Deputy Fitzmaurice's vision, I do not share his view on the range of questions he has asked.

Enda Kenny: The fact that the Minister for Finance is in a position to report income of €3 billion before the end of November from corporate taxes and VAT, which is more than was projected for the entire year, speaks for itself. In that regard, the opportunity to further reduce the national debt is in the Deputy's interest and is everybody's interest. I want to make it clear that simply...

I also point out to Deputy Fitzmaurice that for the first time,...
