Senator Kathryn Reilly gave a very interesting speech from the perspective of a young person. I very much welcome her contribution.

I thank Senator Fidelma Healy Eames for her suggestions. Of course there are too many charges, but where do I get the money to address that? It is a case of getting the economy growing and then looking at pulling back some of those charges. We have gone through a whole series of measures that are effectively emergency measures. If we get back on solid ground, we can begin revisiting some of these issues.

I may not have responded to every point made, but I thank all Senators for their contributions.
