The effort made in this budget to continue to remove people from the tax net is another example of equality. One cannot argue with the figures. This year's budget increases in tax credits, exemption limits and mortgage interest relief will take 37,400 people, one third of whom are aged 65 and over, out of that net. In one year, Fianna Fáil has almost equalled the number of people removed from the tax net over three budgets by the Labour Party and Fine Gael.
