Emmet Stagg (Kildare North, Labour)

That is where that came from. The Minister of State is taking credit where it is not due and pinching other people's ideas, pretending they are hers and doing nothing about implementing them. She creates confrontation in this debate and there is no need for it, no more than at the Whips' meetings every week. There is no chance of getting the agreement that is necessary from all sides of the House to get the necessary Dáil reform.
