Senator Daly raised the question of corporation tax. Corporation tax is a matter for this Government. It has stated that corporation tax will remain the same, irrespective of what the Senator may feel.

I was surprised that Senator Daly raised the question of borrowing. When we took office the country could not raise any money on the financial markets. We could not borrow but the deficit has been reduced significantly. We have very little borrowings in comparison with the state of affairs when we came to office. The Senator suggested that we are borrowing to run an election.
