Pearse Doherty (Donegal South West, Sinn Fein)

Those are the priorities of both parties in this Government. They have stolen the clothes of Deputy Micheál Martin and the former Taoiseach, Deputy Brian Cowen, and are wearing them proudly on the Government benches today, along with their smiles. It is sad to see people who so convincingly and eloquently articulated positions in this Chamber, which I believe came from their hearts, smile in this Chamber today as the Minister announced that the bailout for the Irish banking sector will exceed €70 billion.
