I welcome that Senator Bacik has demonstrated that there is a bit of conscience left in the Labour Party. How cute of the Government to ensure the budget is held two weeks after the referendum. If it were to be held two weeks prior to it there would be no question about the result.

I would like to comment on some posters I have seen.

I was particularly interested in the Labour Party posters, one of which I saw on Gardiner Street last night. People will recognise the rhythm of the slogan, "One People, One Parliament, One Vote", in the words of another slogan, "Ein Reich, Ein Volk, Ein Führer". I wonder which nincompoop thought it up.

We also had the drivel from the Taoiseach about having fewer politicians. What is the Taoiseach, if not a politician? Perhaps he is a vet; I am not sure.
