I welcome the Minister for Social and Family Affairs, Deputy Coughlan, to the House. The Book of Estimates characterises an ugly prevalence in terms of governance here since last year. I believe strongly, as many people do, not least the organisations which represent the worst off in society, that the Book of Estimates, as presented by the Government, demonstrates disregard for those who are less well off in our society. This highlights what is becoming a well believed statement, that if one does not belong to the golden circle or if one is not part of the K Club or part of the circle of those who live around it, one is not even worthy of merit in the form of support from this Administration.
