Róisín Shortall (Dublin North West, Labour)

I say to the Minister, Deputy Gormley, that for somebody who could not get himself out of bed on that fateful night last September when the Government decided to bail out the banks, he has a brass neck to come into the House and boast about his record in Government, particularly when one considers that this country is in the throes of the worst recession in the history of the State. The economy has been brought to the brink of collapse.
