Charlie McCreevy (Kildare North, Fianna Fail)

I do not have the Fianna Fáil election manifesto with me, but I have a clear recollection of what is in the taxation section. We committed nothing. It stated that whenever resources were available, any scope for taxation cuts would be concentrated on the lower paid. We said the least of all the parties about personal taxation. Senator Higgins's party promised intermediate cuts in tax rates and the devil and all, but we promised zero. I am sure someone can get me a copy of the Fianna Fáil manifesto. Senator McDowell, who marked me at the time, should know that was all I said on the area of personal taxation.
