Simon Harris (FG), Wicklow

For the people watching at home, I get a bit of time to speak and then the Deputy gets a bit of time to speak. I want people to know that we took a decision to reduce the VAT rate on people's energy bills and ensure that is in place for a number of years. We took the decision to make sure more people qualify for the fuel allowance than ever before. We took the decision to increase the fuel allowance. We took the decision to make sure working family payment recipients can benefit from the fuel allowance as well. We also took the decision to invest significantly in things that working people in Donegal and right across the country asked us to do in relation to child, children's services, disability services, education-----
