Bernard Durkan (Kildare North, Fine Gael)

The Government has brought traffic to a halt, yet it has more money than it ever had to play with previously. In spite of having all that money, the members of the Government parties must ask themselves whether they intend to support the postal service in the future. If not, they should say so. If they do, the Members on that side of the House who supported our motion should vote with us. In so doing, it will be a recognition that somebody on that side has a conscience and recognises the needs of the service.
