Social Welfare (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2003: Second Stage (Resumed).
2:30 pm
Michael McCarthy (Labour)
Why did she not cry and shout for the people about whom we are talking in the context of this Bill?
The rate of domestic inflation is now double the EU average. This achievement is the sole responsibility of the apostle of fiscal rectitude, the person responsible for the mismanagement of the country's funds, the Minister for Finance. The net effect is that the social welfare increases are completely obliterated by the rate of domestic inflation.
