Pearse Doherty: It is disrespectful but it does not surprise me that neither Minister is here to listen to the critique of the budget from Opposition parties. The Government takes the same approach with this House and parliamentary debate as it does when it stuffs State boards with personnel in order to try to have them elected to the Seanad.

Financial Resolutions 2015 - Budget Statement 2015 (14 Oct 2014)

Pearse Doherty: It was an expression of the anger that people feel against a Government without any sense of fairness. After six long years of spending cuts and tax hikes, unemployment and emigration, bank bailouts and golden handshakes, people are saying that enough is enough. Today’s budget will be spun by the Government as a technical end to austerity but it will not end austerity for many...

Pearse Doherty: Will the Taoiseach please have some respect? I have been speaking for three minutes and the Taoiseach has been nibbling away over there. Have some respect and decency.

Financial Resolutions 2015 - Budget Statement 2015 (14 Oct 2014)

Pearse Doherty: The Taoiseach might not like to hear this but there are 28,000 fewer young people employed in the State since he took office. In the first six months of the year, only 5,500 net new jobs have been created to the start of this month? It would take a long time to deal with the 374,800 people stuck on the dole.

Financial Resolutions 2015 - Budget Statement 2015 (14 Oct 2014)

Pearse Doherty: If the Taoiseach wishes to speak, will he answer the following? Is it any wonder that over 200 people, mainly young people, continue to emigrate every single day in search of work and a better future? Seo a bhfuil déanta ag an Taoiseach, tá na figiúirí seo mar thoradh ar a chuid roghanna. Seo é oidhreacht pholasaí Fine Gael agus Páirtí an Lucht Oibre...

Pearse Doherty: It is clear that the Government has lost its mandate and that it no longer has the support of the people.

Financial Resolutions 2015 - Budget Statement 2015 (14 Oct 2014)

Pearse Doherty: In the dying days of the previous Fianna Fáil Administration, it was clear that Deputy Martin’s party had lost touch with the people and the public mood. It was no longer able to hear what the people were saying. The current Government is worse because it has heard the voice of the people, yet it is carrying on regardless. Let me spell it out for the Taoiseach: the people are...

Financial Resolutions 2015 - Budget Statement 2015 (14 Oct 2014)

Pearse Doherty: The Government is not just out of touch; it is arrogantly ignoring the appeal of the vast majority of people for an ending of the burden of austerity on their families and their communities. It may seem strange to Government Deputies that this anger has spilled onto the streets and into the ballot boxes. Puzzled backbenchers are asking how this can be. The troika is gone, the economy is...

Pearse Doherty: Where is the recovery for the family whose children will emigrate today, tomorrow and the day after? Where is the recovery for the 324 families whose loved ones are lying on hospital trolleys today? Where is the recovery for the non-verbal child waiting for speech and language therapy today, tomorrow and all of next year?

Financial Resolutions 2015 - Budget Statement 2015 (14 Oct 2014)

Pearse Doherty: Like everyone else, I desperately want to see a recovery. However, a recovery is more than GDP statistics or marginal reductions in the live register. That is the point that the Government is missing. If it is to mean anything at all, a real recovery must mean that people's lives improve, that the financial and emotional burden of the recession is lifted and that tomorrow will be better...

Pearse Doherty: The health system needs more than the €500 million that was taken from the health budget. To meet demographic demands in health, the system needs an additional €300 million to deal with a growing and aging population. This has not been provided. The Government has decided to stand still, keep the budget the way it is and not deal with demographic demands. This is...
