Paul Kehoe (Wexford, Fine Gael)

Deputy White is like a junior infant partner in Government who claims that it was the bigger boys and girls in the Fianna Fáil Party who got it wrong. If there is collective Cabinet responsibility, what about the Ministers, Deputies Gormley and Ryan? What are they doing at the Cabinet table? Are they there just holding up the table for the Government? The Green Party is like global warming in Iceland — it cannot stick the heat.
