Financial Resolutions 2016 - Financial Resolution No. 5: General (Resumed) (14 Oct 2015)

Enda Kenny: ...Lemass had placed it as a low-tax party that was confident and competent based on competitiveness and exports.

In recent months, all...

Enda Kenny: ...improve Ireland's attractiveness as a place for businesses in which to invest and expand and one that ignores the calls from the Opposition for a return to the reckless tax-and-spend polices that destroyed the public finances during the past decade.

It is a scandal that somebody who pulls into a filling station and pays for fuel on the assumption that it is of the highest standard then finds that the car's engine has been destroyed a short time later.
