Bertie Ahern (Dublin Central, Fianna Fail)

It is the same old question and Deputy Ó Caoláin should be honest. He and his party never believed that the Government would introduce the Employment Equality Act, the Equal Status Act, the Equality Act 2004, the Education for Persons with Special Educational Needs Bill, the Comhairle (Amendment) Bill and a very good Disability Bill. He clings on to the hope that he can get some political gain by ranting on.
