Tony Killeen (Clare, Fianna Fail)

I wish to share time with Deputy Dooley.

I am tempted by Deputy Broughan's contribution to follow the same line because his experience is not entirely unique and I am envious of him because, unlike me, he did not go through the Opposition lobbies on his own. I will resist the temptation to remind him and others of the wonderful rhetoric of Opposition Members who did the exact opposite when they were in Government. However, it is more important to acknowledge, in voting on such a motion, the impact on policy and that the difficulties that will beset the business and hotel and tourism community and the airport workers will not be moved forward one whit by such political posturing.
