Micheál Martin (Cork South Central, Fianna Fail)

The Opposition should be aware that of all forms of human emotion, electoral euphoria is often the shortest lived. There are three years left in which every Member has the duty to fulfil his or her mandate. When we all seek a new mandate, I am confident that this side of the House will be able to show the people it took the right decisions when it mattered most.
