It is definitely not a jamboree, but I do not know what it is. Are there words in the dictionary to describe it? It is the third time we have changed Taoiseach in this present Government. The people want an election. They want a new Government, not a new Taoiseach. It is a complete coronation and complete adulation from Fine Gael, as we have seen there with standing ovations, and we will see many more of them. The hiring all week of more spin doctors by the Minister, Deputy Harris, tells us what this Government will be. It will be spin, not substance, and continuing to neglect the business. I wrote to the Ceann Comhairle asking him to have a Business Committee meeting when I saw the agenda for this week, the way it was dissected and everything was cast aside just to suit the Fine Gael agenda. It was of course aided and abetted by the Fianna Fáil leader, the Tánaiste, Deputy Micheál Martin, and indeed the Minister, Deputy Eamon Ryan. What else can we say about it?
