Dan Boyle (Green Party)

During the 2007 general election campaign my party stated the rates of growth would be lower than what the outgoing Government and the Opposition parties believed. We were saying the good times would come to an end soon and that we needed additional taxation receipts. I have not heard anyone contribute in the political debate on these issues. After the first budget of the current Government, in 2007, the Opposition was calling for further measures that would have overheated the economy.
