Dick Roche (Wicklow, Fianna Fail)

I have listened with dismay to the polarisation of the debate in the past few weeks. That polarisation is something I utterly deplore. It is counterproductive. We, as a society, must hang together or we will most definitely hang apart. To demonise public administrators or public servants, as has happened in the debate in the recent past is simply counter to the public good.
