Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael)

I thank the Ceann Comhairle for letting me say my few words, and I will make a final point. I listened this morning to the Minister for Finance who clearly said that the Government has to bear primary responsibility. He went on to speak about the sociopolitical context in which this happened. That sociopolitical context was generated by the Government within the spires of the Galway tent. The sociopolitical context was this - that if one said anything about the way the country was moving, such as when Deputy Bruton pointed out time and again that the alarm bells were ringing, one was either guilty of national sabotage or told to go and commit suicide.
