Eamon Gilmore (Dún Laoghaire, Labour)

It is the Taoiseach who is insisting on politics as usual. The reality is that the people of the country want the Government out of office fast. They want that to happen because they want to move on. The country is stuck in the mire and will stay there as long as the Government clings on to office from one month to the next. People want to move on. We wanted to bring about recovery, get some confidence back into the country and put a new Government in place in order to deal with the problems with some authority.
