The problem is that the Government is trying to do the two things at once and that cannot be done. It is a bit like a number of great quotes attributed to Irish politicians that they deny ever having said. The late Jack Lynch said he never said he would not stand idly by; the Tánaiste said she never said Ireland was closer to Boston than to Berlin. It is a pity that all the best quotes are apocryphal, but perhaps that is the nature of good quotes. However, the Boston-Berlin dilemma is precisely the Government's problem. It was determined on a route of tax cutting. We should remember that the reduction in betting tax that the Government introduced was larger than the amount being spent on the first-time buyer's grant. What was the economic necessity or the urgency about this? It was done because of a determination to cut taxes across the spectrum.
