    Must have been a late one, no-one has been on to tell us how the protest went.

    Are we solvent again?

    Yes, everythings grand now, but sure weve been on the pigs back since last year,

    We now have the confidence of knowing that our plan to return this country to prosperity is working. Yes, we have had to make some very difficult choices in framing today’s budget and in doing so, we have tried to be as fair as possible. However, by taking the difficult but necessary measures now, we will rebuild our nation’s self-confidence here at home and our reputation abroad.

    The international economy has exited recession. Recent indicators suggest that economic activity in this country is turning the corner, and my Department expects a return to positive growth within the next six to nine months.

    In the past 18 months we have put in place a range of far-reaching measures to stabilise the banking system. We took those measures not for the sake of the banks but for the sake of our economy.

    The speed and ferocity of the recession has knocked us off our stride but the innate advantages that brought us the boom have survived the downturn. We have taken a step back but we have in place a plan to take us forward on the path of sustainable economic growth. That plan is working. Unemployment will not be as high as previously forecast, our tax receipts have begun to stabilise, consumer confidence is beginning to revive and our export figures are the healthiest in Europe.

    As we begin to emerge from the unrelenting economic gloom of the last 18 months, we need to rediscover our optimism and our self-belief.

    We have turned the corner. Our plan is working. I commend this Budget to the House.

    Dont know about you but i dont beleive a word out of this fuc.kers mouth.

    Onwards relentlessly, change will come.
