Leo Varadkar (Dublin West, Fine Gael)

I wish to share time with Deputies Sheehan and Creed.

This debate is not about the Government's record on Northern Ireland, the economy, the health service, transport and the environment. It is not about the personal affairs of the Taoiseach, Deputy Bertie Ahern, despite his attempts to bring family problems into the debate at every possible opportunity afforded by RTE but not by the tribunal.
