David Stanton (Cork East, Fine Gael)

All parties, with the exception of the Government parties, seem anxious to make changes and engage in conversation but there is no conversation, debate or engagement. The idea that we are all trying to gain an advantage is a paranoid fiction in the Taoiseach's mind. Nobody is trying to do this. We want to make the place more efficient. We have said this time out of number. Even the Ceann Comhairle hints at it from time to time out of frustration. The Taoiseach is the only person holding it up.
