Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael)

This does not deal with the fundamental fact. We are talking about a decision of the Fianna Fáil Government, backed up by the remaining Progressive Democrat and the Green Party, the deputy leader of which stated on KCLR this morning that but for the fact that the Green Party threatened to pull out of Government, this morning's action would not have happened. We are back to square one.
