If the Senator stopped interrupting me, I could move on.

I welcome the changes to the Universal Social Charge and to the extension of the tax bands, which will improve the position of low and middle income earners. This is part of a strategy of income and taxation reform engaged in by the Government parties over the past years. I am pleased they have moved away from income taxes to capital taxes and other taxes that capture people who had managed to avoid paying income tax.
