John Deasy (Waterford, Fine Gael)

I tabled this question in the expectation that Senator Obama would win yesterday and he did. I listened to the US Ambassador's interview on "Morning Ireland" this morning and he made an interesting comment. He said what somebody said on a campaign trail and what he or she did on being elected were two different things. I am not sure this will be the case with President-elect Obama. There is a danger he might follow through on what said on the campaign trail. That is a concept that is quite alien to the Fianna Fáil.
