Willie O'Dea (Limerick East, Fianna Fail)

The Opposition is mounting a charade. It tabled a motion endorsing the tribunal in an attempt to convince the public of the fiction that they and they alone fully support the tribunal and want it to complete its work. I submit that the Opposition's show of support tonight is a sham. This motion is motivated by the Opposition's sole ambition, which is to damage the Government.
