Eamon Ryan (Dublin South, Green Party)

I respect each of the political parties in this Dáil. We all have our own histories, strengths and weaknesses, my party included. I have been a Member for approximately ten years and have developed in that time a strong sense that Members from all parties have integrity and capability. My partners in Government have shown such integrity and capability. Should Deputy Kenny's party enter government, in whatever formation, in the coming months, I have no doubt he will demonstrate the management capability the public deserves. The same applies to the Labour Party. I do not believe we should be engaging in point scoring in this regard. We all have our country's interests at heart.
