On the practical difficulties involved, even accepting that what the Taoiseach has said is correct and that the figures can be stalled only to make a sudden jump in the final year, this lacks credibility. I, for one, do not believe it. We will plead poverty again. We hear all these clichés about Ireland being the most generous country and that we give more per capita than most, and then we fail at this level. We cannot afford to fail. We need to give ourselves this position of moral leadership. We are coming into the leadership of the European Union, which is an opportunity to set an example.
