Budget Statement 2011

Michael Noonan (Limerick East, Fine Gael)
At times of crisis we tend to turn to the heroes of the past for inspiration - to Collins and Griffith, de Valera and Lemass. I know Members on all sides of the House do that and therefore I shall finish by reference to a quotation attributed to Michael Collins which we might all ponder. Collins said, "Give us the future. We have had enough of the past. Give us back our country to live in, to grow in, to love".
