Mattie McGrath: Tá áthas an domhain orm bheith anseo anocht. Tá dhá Airí Stáit as Tiobraid Árann anseo anocht freisin. I am delighted to see two of my colleagues tonight in the Chamber, but I do not know how they could return to Tipperary to begin to sell this budget. I welcome the positive initiatives.

Mattie McGrath: I welcome the home improvement retrofit scheme, which I have sought for the past four or five years in submissions. I welcome and salute it. I also welcome the retention of the 9% VAT rate for the hospitality trade. It has been a success and it would have been nonsense to change it.

Tosach maith leath na hoibre, but it is a paltry amount that is only worth around €1 per week - €60 per year. It is thruppence ha'penny; it would not give a tip to the young fellow at the mart.

I am not saying we should pay young people to stay at...

Mattie McGrath: I will not say any more. The budget is an attack on the working class, ordinary people, the disabled, the elderly and vulnerable people. The Government will live to regret it. Smoke screens, WikiLeaks and public relations people will not hide the Government members from the wrath of the people. I can only speak for Tipperary; I will not speak for any other county. The people are waiting...
