These Estimates provide for a very slight increase in spending. My guess is that by the time budget day comes around it will be around 8%. In normal circumstances I would not object to an increase of that size. We are, however, entitled to say that this is completely at odds with the suggestion of the Minister for Finance, Fianna Fáil and the Progressive Democrats before 17 May. Obviously this Government feels that in time people will forget and, if everything comes good by the next election, they will be fine. The Government is wrong. When people are betrayed and deceived to the extent they have been by this Government, the bad taste lasts for a very long time. It may be that things done next year or the year after will be forgotten by the next election but the deception of the 2002 election will linger for a long time and the people will find a way to pay the Government back.
