Eamon Gilmore (Dún Laoghaire, Labour)

The Government has told us at the same time that there is no surrender nor loss of sovereignty in the deal and that it complies with our Constitution. That is an arrogance that has now fired the first shots of its general election campaign and which demonstrates that Fianna Fáil wants to fight it on its distorted version of what Opposition parties are saying. I advise the Taoiseach that he is going to fight this election on his miserable record.
