Willie O'Dea (Limerick East, Fianna Fail)

While it is rare that I find myself agreeing with Vincent Browne, I believe he analysed the Opposition's tactics correctly when he wrote in The Sunday Business Post on 20 January last:

Fine Gael has no idea whether the Tribunal deserves a vote of confidence or not, and doesn't care. The whole point of its motion is to embarrass Fianna Fáil.
