Budget Statement 2005: Motion.

 

6:00 pm

Brendan Daly (Fianna Fail)

I will not dwell on the multi-annual funding being put in place for people with disability across a range of activities. What is important in that area is that it is a multi-annual programme, which means that if funding is not spent in a particular year for whatever reason, it can be carried forward to 2009. On many occasions, we have heard delegations from the disability sector trying to get action from Government. The Minister has taken that action for which he should be congratulated.

I heard some of the comments in the media immediately after the budget and the only people to criticise it were those in Fine Gael.
