Niall Collins (Limerick West, Fianna Fail)

What the people want to see is policy on crime, policy on jobs and policy on banking. The Labour Party is defunct in all those areas because there is an absence of policy. It might be riding high in the opinion polls, but as we get nearer to election time, the people will focus on its absence of policies and I wish its members the best of luck then.
