Objections to proposals to put VAT on children's shoes means that budget 1982 fails to get passed in the Dáil.
Minister for Finance John Bruton failed to get his budget through the Dáil when a number of independent TD's voted against the Fine Gael-Labour coalition, objecting to proposals to put VAT on children's shoes. This was the first time a government was brought down on a budget vote.
When Minister for Finance, John Bruton, appears for his press photo call prior to delivering his budget, Forbes McFall asks the minister what the main points of the budget will be?
