Fergus O'Dowd (Louth, Fine Gael)

You have become the green mulch rather than the Green Party. You are caught in the grips of a party, Fianna Fáil, which some of them have opposed in the past. Some years ago during a debate here Deputy Gormley went to the Fianna Fáil side of the House and stated that he wanted to sit there so he could see what it is like to speak from the side with the stench of corruption in building and in planning. He has had plenty of it because he is sitting over there permanently and there is no sign of you guys moving.
