What I find very interesting about Sinn Féin at the moment is that despite Deputy Doherty's feigned anger, he and his party leader cannot do enough to get into government. If they ever find themselves in a position that they are in government and if Deputy Doherty ever finds himself in the position of being Minister for Finance or Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform, I will have to introduce him to the reality that he will have to make choices and take decisions. He came in here a moment ago - the record will prove me right or wrong - and accused me of not being patriotic or he at least implied it. He also inferred that I did not care about people who are lying in a hospital bed and those who are homeless. How dare he walk in here believing he is the only person in the room-----
