Micheál Martin: “The Government doesn’t run FIFA.”

We will be growing expenditure this year. There's no cuts here.

I've made my position clear in terms of where I think there can be derogations, and there doesn't need to be a picket.

This budget can't be seen in isolation.

I do not believe the basis exists for industrial action. I don't believe the public should have to endure that, because there have been significant tax cuts in the Budget, which will help workers.
