Public Finances: Motion.
5:00 pm
Maurice Cummins (Fine Gael)
We have witnessed the impact of the 16 social welfare cuts. One disgraceful cut was reversed, that hitting at poor widows, on which the Government was forced to row back. It is a pity the surplus in the finances is not used to reverse the other 15 cuts. It is clear that Government priorities are not in line with those of hard-working, honest people.
