Pat Rabbitte (Dublin South West, Labour)

I have been a Member of the House for approximately the same time as the Minister. In those years, I have noticed how he usually consults me and wants cross-party co-operation before doing anything. Who does be believe he is fooling? If we are all against FOBTs, what is the problem? I am not advocating that they be ignored. Rather, I am advocating that they be outlawed. However, the Minister tells the House that he would not be seen in discussion with vested interests of any kind.
