Pat Carey (Dublin North West, Fianna Fail)

I do not regard it as being a Fianna Fáil or a Government proposal. If we cannot come forward with an agreed proposal, there is no point in doing anything. It has been stated that the Government is trying to protect itself. It could be said that the Opposition is trying to gain some further advantage. If matters continue in this vein, we will never get anywhere.
