Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael)

It is typical of the responses of Ministers of this Government that they do not accept responsibility for what is happening. I did not disagree with the Minister that these measures were not required; they are required. However, the Minister is in charge of the purse strings. The Comptroller and Auditor General's recent report stated that transport schemes have overrun by €4 billion yet nobody accepts responsibility for this. This happens right along the line. The Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform promised 2,000 extra gardaí.
