That is where I am focused ... I believe in the best result here, which is political leadership to sort out the problem, and let us get on with our business.
Prime Minister Enda Kenny has already made very clear in Brussels that it would be extremely difficult to win a referendum given the current mood
set its face in respect of producing our budget for 5th and 6th December and we are not changing the target we have set now
This is another example of how the sovereignty of this State has been handed over. Enda Kenny must come into the Dáil and explain how these documents are being discussed by a German budget committee before their contents have been revealed to the Oireachtas.
We have a Constitution under which people have specific rights
Enda Kenny needs to come into the Dail and give a report on his meeting with Angela Merkel, including exactly what details and documents he gave to his German counterpart.
This is an issue of real concern to this country and every other country in the eurozone and beyond, even the US
This is a matter of the highest concern and urgency
The current climate of uncertainty puts what we have achieved at risk
There is a real and present sense of danger, with many openly suggesting that the very future of the currency as we know it is at stake
The strong mandate we have received from the Irish people is one that I and my colleagues in Government exercise with great seriousness
You don’t need a report from the Irish Taxation Institute (ITI) to know that – you can feel it every day in politics.
It is an ambitious target for the Government to achieve. I'm very optimistic in respect of the confidence I find all over the country in businesses to accept the challenge in these economic times in creating new jobs.
It is the responsibility of the Government to make decisions about the budget. This Government has set our task in fulfilling the mandate given to us by the people, to sort out our public finances, to get our deficit to 8.6 per cent, to take €3.8 billion out of the economy next year.
The preparation of any Budget, particularly if you have to take €3.8bn out of the economy, is always sensitive, is always difficult and is always unpalatable
Increases in income tax are a direct hit at people who want to have a choice on what they spend their money on and what their purchases are and the consequences
If we don’t make the cuts that have been agreed on — that’s to get down €3.8bn this year — then the only alternative is to increase taxes and increasing taxes affects jobs directly
If we are not to make the cuts that have been agreed in broad principle, that is to take out about €3.8 billion this year, then the only alternative is to increases taxes, and increases in taxes affects jobs directly
I am not in the blame game here. I regret that these things which were speculative and which were not signed off on should be a source of some discussion in some other quarters
We have . . . lost our economic sovereignty as we cannot [alone] form government policy without co-ordinating it with the EU, the IMF and the ECB.
Let me confirm something to you, the cabinet have made no decision in regard to the budget. It is on December 6
I regret that these things which are speculative, which are not signed off on, should be the source of some discussions in other quarters.
