Bernard Durkan (Kildare North, Fine Gael)

The Government has not made one correct decision since taking up office. Not one correct decision was taken. Everything the Government has done was a disaster. The Government has behaved like a lunatic in a china shop with a sledge hammer slashing all around it and cutting everything while stating we must endure pain. There will be pain for the Government if it continues like that. The most severe pain will be that experienced shortly by Government when the electorate has its say and opts to put Government out of its pain, a pain it needs to be put out of with extreme urgency.
