It is a tired, stale and incompetent Government which has run out of lifebelts and is using the deck planks to keep the engines running in a forlorn hope that one day it may reach landfall. God help us.

The Government's policies of supporting the speculators and bankers in the Galway tent have failed with catastrophic consequences for every man, woman and child in this country. Has the Government no pride in its country and its fellow men and women? One of the Taoiseach's predecessors, the illustrious father of the Minister of State, Deputy Seán Haughey, said to me on his last day in office that the battle was over and it was time to replace the sword in the scabbard. These were the last words in office of that effective and efficient Taoiseach, Charles Haughey. I had made a query on an issue pertaining to west Cork.
