The Government missed an opportunity here and should have introduced a second free year in the early childhood care and education scheme. I understand various disability groups have criticised the Government for not providing anything like what is required to enable those with disabilities to live their lives with dignity, and that is another missed opportunity.

There has been a decrease in the transport Vote of €15 million or €16 million. There was no talk about improvements to the road network or about giving money to local authorities for roads maintenance. There is no reference to that area whatsoever.
