Dara Calleary: I, too, thank Deputy Dooley for highlighting this issue.

I noticed another explanation given by the Minister yesterday, namely, that it was not proper to take the budget apart so early into its term. The Minister is right. I hope the Minister for Social Protection was listening to him...
