Richard Boyd Barrett: The Taoiseach and Tánaiste have lost all interest in the budget. I suspect the wider public have lost interest anyway because they realise through bitter experience it will not make much difference to the real issues that affect their lives. I will not go through an exhaustive list of what is not there or what we would have done instead. People can read our alternative budget...

Holly Cairns: Since Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael went into government with each other, it has not been clear which party's ethos has been more influential. One thing was very clear yesterday, though. We saw the return of Bertienomics. Fianna Fáil's infamous economic policy approach is once again leading the way. What could go wrong? Bertie once famously said that the boom was getting boomier...

Ivana Bacik: This country has resources that are the envy of our neighbours. I refer to the Apple billions, record surpluses and low unemployment. However, in the Ireland of 2024, even workers with good jobs and their own homes suffer from a lack of public infrastructure and a cost-of-living crisis. Those without homes are suffering most. They are at the sharp edge of our housing disaster. It is not...

Mary Lou McDonald: They will continue to pay big fees, continue to search for spaces that do not exist, and continue to be stressed today and worried about the future. Our plan would deliver the change they need, not just soundbites. It is a plan to make childcare affordable at €10 a day per child by next September, a plan to deliver early years educators and childcare professionals the pay increase...

Mary Lou McDonald: We have heard the Government oscillate between self-congratulatory backslapping and defensive, self-righteous attack rhetoric, neither of which is grounded in any sense of reality. I notice the Taoiseach is not here to participate in this debate. That is a first in my recollection. Perhaps, after all the bragging and hot air, the Taoiseach cannot present himself to stand by and stand over...

Aindrias Moynihan: Go raibh maith agat, a Thánaiste. Leanfaimid ar aghaidh leis an Aire, an Teachta Roderic O'Gorman.

Roderic O'Gorman: I begin by recognising the huge work done by the Ministers, Deputies Donohoe and Chambers, and their teams over the last months in delivering budget 2025, the fifth and final budget of this Government. The delivery of this final budget gives us a moment to reflect. When the Green Party contested the election in 2020, we did so proposing a manifesto entitled Towards 2030: A decade of change....
