This could include the millions being spent on jets. Could the €1 billion which is being given back to the corporate sector in tax breaks this year be redirected to the health services, respite care and other crucial areas of need? This would be a real help to those who are struggling in a society which the Taoiseach is responsible for having created in the past six years?

I remind the Deputy that we spend €38 billion in this country and, thankfully, we do not borrow too much. The money is generated from what Deputy Higgins refers to as the corporate sector who generate the wealth that allows us to provide the services. A country does not generate wealth on its own without the services. Even though the Deputy has spent many years involved in the fringes of public life, he still does not understand the basic economic fact that most people in the socialist world have long understood.

We will continue to sustain policies that generate the opportunity for people to work and to have sufficient money so that they can live a life with dignity and respect. We must generate the resources to provide substantial increases in services so that those who cannot work, including the aged, young people or people with difficulties, can have dignity and a quality of life. That is what we must continue to do and it is what we have been doing remarkably well in recent years.
