Senator Daly is suffering from double delusions. When I hear him speaking about the budget, it seems he was not listening to what was said in the budget speeches in the Dáil or in the very substantive debate we had in this House last night. Had he been listening, as I was, or contributing, he might have noted that the commentators, like him, who said it was both auction politics and a continuation of austerity, had clearly got it wrong. It could not be both, and it was neither.
