Paul McGrath (Westmeath, Fine Gael)

I compliment Deputy Jan O'Sullivan and the Labour Party on this motion. I wholeheartedly support it. I was disappointed to hear the Minister's speech. She has put much energy into producing figures claiming the Government is better, the situation now is better than in 1997, the Government is better than this and that, and better than the time the Opposition was in Government.
