Noel Treacy (Galway East, Fianna Fail)

Having listened to the contributions of Opposition Deputies, one group argues the Government did not spend sufficient money because Departments returned it to the Department of Finance, while another claims we misspent it. This is typical of the Opposition's approach. It does not know its left hand from its right and does not have the capacity to govern. The people have not trusted them to do so, nor will they trust them in the immediate future.
