When we came into power we set up the minimum wage commission which reported in due time. We then had the job of implementing it, which comes under the remit of the Tánaiste. There was nothing in the Fianna Fáil election manifesto regarding taking the minimum wage out of the tax net because there was no minimum wage at the time. When we reviewed the programme for Government in 1999, and I think Senator Mansergh was part of the review group, we made it one of our goals to remove people on the minimum wage from the tax net. That spilled over into, and became a goal of, the PPF. If one looked at the Fianna Fáil election manifesto of 1997, about which Senator Mansergh would know a lot, one would not see any reference to this in the taxation area because it only became a goal subsequently for us, the Progressive Democrats and the social partners. I explain for the benefit of the historical record.
