Martin Cullen (Waterford, Fianna Fail)

Unlike Deputy Boyle, I have policies which I will explain to the House.

I am sorry that Deputy Morgan has left the House. The Greens also sit with the Sinn Féin Party, which has a one-size-fits-all approach to issues — whatever it is, it is against it. I congratulate its Deputies for sharing with us their opposition to illegal dumping — except, of course, when it involves semtex and Armalites. That is a different matter. Deputy Morgan showed much concern about environmental issues, but I would be happier to see him discuss his concerns about illegal waste dumping, which is a matter on which he might be able to help me, or oil laundering, which is something he and his colleagues know about, rather than filling the House with rhetoric.

The parties of the Technical Group share a remarkable distinction. None of them has ever bothered to publish a detailed alternative budget in order to show the people exactly what they are proposing.
