Pearse Doherty: That is not the question, and my time is limited. I will move on. I am not talking about the summer economic statement. I acknowledge there were moving parts.

The scope of the package of the budget that the Minister relayed to the Committee on Budgetary Oversight five days before...

Committee on Budgetary Oversight: Framework for Parliamentary Engagement Throughout the Budgetary Cycle: Discussion (9 Feb 2021)

Pearse Doherty: I thank the Minister. On the recovery and resilience plan, the Minister, Deputy Michael McGrath, will obviously acknowledge that the allocation in that regard is, in some cases, bigger than the allocation to singular Departments.

It is not the way to do budgets. I acknowledge that there are moving parts but he has...

Pearse Doherty: On what is World Cancer Day, I extend my solidarity to Ms Lynsey Bennett and express my deep anger at what we saw yesterday - another woman and family failed by the State, another woman who was forced to go to the courts despite assurances that such would never happen again.
