Micheál Martin (Cork South Central, Fianna Fail)

Let me quote Daryl G. Kimball, for example, who is one of the major opponents of this treaty. He said: "The Irish Government did all it could. In my view no other country played a more energetic role in identifying the problems with this deal." That is not capitulation. It may be fanciful for Deputy Higgins to engage in that kind of hyperbole and rhetoric.
