Pádraig Mac Lochlainn (Donegal North East, Sinn Fein)

-----and who oversaw the bankruptcy of this State share the same ideological analysis and view as the likes of the Minister of State, Deputy Brian Hayes, the Minister for Finance, Deputy Michael Noonan - who practically read the same speech Deputy Brian Hayes read last night - and Deputy Paschal Donohoe, tell us that in fact we live in one of the most progressive states in the world which is terribly fair. They should tell that to the people who have watched our State being bankrupt to pay off the debts of reckless millionaires and billionaires not just in this country but across Europe. Those in Fine Gael and Fianna Fáil would tell us that we live in a great, progressive, advanced State that is terribly fair altogether. The parties might as well just get it over with, join together and form one party. They should just get it over with once and for all.

I am shocked to see Labour Deputies stand by quietly and listen to that type of right wing ideology and say nothing.
