Mark Daly: Yesterday the Minister for Finance promised something for everyone in the budget and he certainly delivered in that regard. He ensured pain for the poor, more cuts for the squeezed middle and more fear for the elderly. Deputy Donnelly in an interview on "Morning Ireland" this morning said that the Government has introduced a politically strong but economically weak budget and he was right.

Mark Daly: I would like a debate on corporate tax policy. The Government has announced it will get rid of what is known as the "double Irish".
