That encapsulates the approach of Senator Ó Clochartaigh and Sinn Féin to everything. We are in opposition, we will oppose, oppose, oppose. Ochóin, ochóin agus ochóin.

This budget is about ensuring that what we have to spend and, to be honest, what we have to borrow is spent prudently and invested wisely. It is also about making sure that all people in all sectors of society who contribute - and we must make work pay - benefit from this budget.

Senator Ó Clochartaigh is living and operating in a time warp. He should come into the real world.
