Deputy Doherty might feel sore that the true motives of his party are becoming apparent.

In my comments, I was at pains to acknowledge, as I always do publicly, the suffering that people feel and the difficulties we have. My understanding of these matters is as real as the Deputy's. I will not allow my empathy or understanding of those matters to be challenged by anybody. The Deputy should not think I will allow him shift the goalposts in the way he just tried to.
