Martin Cullen (Waterford, Fianna Fail)

It is not what Fianna Fáil is made of and it is not what politicians that I stood for and stand for are made of. One believes in what one is doing or one does not. I believe in what we have achieved, the adjustments we made and what we will achieve over the next three years.

I will guarantee one thing. If Fine Gael thinks, based on the policies it has espoused to date - which are non-existent - that it could win a general election in this country, it is absolutely codding itself.
