Michael Noonan (Limerick East, Fine Gael)

They have no confidence in the Government but they want to hang around for another two months. They issued the daftest press statement I ever read from a Minister. It stated that the Irish people were misled and betrayed. They were not misled and betrayed by Fine Gael, the Labour Party or Sinn Féin. The Members from Sinn Féin are too busy in County Donegal to mislead or betray anybody.
