Rather than address the specific concern raised by Denis O’Brien the day before, the Taoiseach proceeded with a needless political attack on the Opposition, saying he was “concerned” when he hears call for “more public spending [and] tax breaks for developers” as Ireland was only now recovering from a “lost decade”.
