- Financial Resolution No. 15: (General) Resumed (16 Oct 2008)
Michael Ring: Last Tuesday, when the budget was announced, what sickened me most was seeing the Fianna Fáil backbenchers and Independents standing up and clapping the Government.

- Financial Resolution No. 15: (General) Resumed (16 Oct 2008)
Michael Ring: I will talk about child benefit, a matter the previous speaker would not understand, if the constituency he represents is anything to go by. I am sure he is always talking to builders, attending race meetings and associating with the super-rich. The half-rate child benefit payment will no longer apply to those aged 18 and over and those who have moved on to third level education. An...
