Trevor Sargent: I support resolutions Nos. 2 and 3, which are as interesting for what they fail to say as for what they say. I will highlight one or two aspects that occur to me.

Financial Resolution No. 6: General (Resumed) (7 Dec 2006)

Trevor Sargent: Tá mé ag roinnt mo chuid ama leis na Teachtaí Morgan, Cowley agus Ó Murchú. Bhí a lán daoine ag caint faoin gcáinaisnéis mar cháinaisnéis a bheadh, ar bhealach amháin nó bhealach eile, glas. It is clear we did not get a green budget.
