Budget Statement 2006 (6 Dec 2006)

Dan Boyle: A story teller in Cork city would tell his audience about his humble beginnings. He would say that his family had nothing growing up and the neighbours had nothing but there seemed to be an awful lot of nothing to share.

Budget Statement 2006 (6 Dec 2006)

Dan Boyle: The measures in social welfare must be welcomed as the increases are more or less in line with what many NGOs and my own party had been looking for in pre-budget statements. This should also be put in context. In 2005, the EU-SILC survey indicated the poverty level for an individual Irish citizen was €192.74 per week. That was in 2005, so we can take it for granted the level is above...
