Liam Fitzgerald (Fianna Fail)

—who fail to recognise that this fund has been one of the most imaginative, innovative, creations in the history of Ministers for Finance. It is a clear acknowledgment by the Minister of consultants' reports and of trends in the age profile of the working population and of where we will be in 25 years' time. It is putting money away for the rainy day. I have no doubt it is one of the many sound initiatives undertaken by the Minister over the past 12 years. It will go down in history and stand in glorious testimony to his record of achievements.
