Finance and Related Matters: Statements.
Senator Quinn raised the issues of job security, inflation and borrowing. He strongly supported the decisions taken in the budget. Neither high taxation nor high borrowing is the answer to anybody's problems. We have learned from those mistakes in the past and remained steadfast in the budget in this regard. The ability to attract overseas investment will be vital for us in the future. Senator Quinn said that the pharmaceutical sector is the most exceptionally performing part of our industry.
