Paul Gogarty (Dublin Mid West, Green Party)

I will sum up. Irrespective of the financial interests pervading much of this House in terms of influencing the way decisions are made - I reiterate that the Green Party does not engage in this practice and no one is paying it or having it compromise in any way to make decisions - we have announced we are leaving Government and will do so, but we must get the budget passed. It is our moral duty to do so.
