Rónán Mullen (Independent)

I find myself having to offer some support for Sinn Féin here this morning. We ought to reject any suggestion that the party would endanger Ireland's commercial interests by opposing the referendum on the fiscal compact. Deputies Ó Snodaigh and Adams have already shown that their commitment to Ireland Inc. is sure and that they are acting in our best interests.

I would defend the putting up of posters at this stage by Sinn Féin or any other group. I must disagree with my friend, Senator Darragh O'Brien, on this. There can be nothing wrong with people getting their arguments in early.
