Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael)

If the Taoiseach looks at the record, I never attempted to pontificate to him or to the Government. I put forward constructive criticisms of where he failed and at the same time I put forward constructive suggestions as to what he might do, and I will offer now another suggestion.

The Taoiseach has stated nothing more than a repetition of what he has previously stated. He states he accepts responsibility but there is no accountability in the Government, least of all from himself. He states he will do it his way and these elections are irrelevant. To hell with the people. They do not mind what the people say by their vote.
