Paul Kehoe (Wexford, Fine Gael)

I thank Deputy Creed for putting down this fine motion. It is an awful pity some on the Government side would not listen to our comments. I have no doubt that if the Minister of State, Deputy Sargent, was sitting on this side, as he did for the previous five years, he would agree with us and press the red button tonight. It is very sad the Minister of State's party has not got what it takes to tell the Government what to do.
