Jim O'Callaghan (FF), Dublin Bay South

It is unfair of Deputy Cairns to describe the budget introduced last year as "a giveaway on steroids". When the one-off measures were introduced, I do not recall anyone in opposition describing them as that. In fact, they were wholeheartedly accepted and there was no criticism of them by Opposition Members.
