Larry Butler (Fianna Fail)

A good debate on the economy with the Minister for Finance present would solve many of the problems. It would enable us to examine if there is room within the budget's parameters — and we must stay within those parameters — to find savings. If savings can be found in some budgets, that would be fine. That is the way to go. We must do this the right way and invite the Minister for Finance to the House first. After that, we can invite the Minister for Education and Science to consider what can be done in that area. That is the way to go. I take on board what other Members have said but it is important we deal with it the right way, which is through the economy.
