First 10 minutes of Pearse Docertys Budget Speech. 3.15 to 3.45 and 7.45 to 8.35 is gold.

A very passionate speech, unsure what effect it will have in the long term, just a shame more of the house did not stay to listen.

This got to me! Jesus, i looked at it with the approach of "this be funny" esp when they all left min sinn fein came on but when he said youve sold out the average people tryign to get by.....jesus...great speech!!!! A++++++++++

This budget will inflict financial pain on most people in soceity which is people on the social welfare, minimum wage and the middle class. The upper class are again easily let off on severe tax. This cannot continue and also the fact FF didnt touch the state pension for another year in fear of losing significant votes.

The thread is littered with posts proclaiming extreme right wing ideals which favours the upper class and protects the rich. If only there was more discussion on the actual budget that will affect so many over the next year and a more realistic view on the unemployed that have to make ends meet everyday of the year.
