Mary Lou McDonald (Dublin Central, Sinn Fein)

Fine Gael and the Labour Party are in government and responsibility rests with them. When the illogicality and full consequences of their position of taking on the bank debt and discounting burden sharing come to light, they should not point the finger at the Fianna Fáil Party because it is no longer in charge. As an Opposition Deputy, I do not want to spend the next year or more listening to haranguing, harassment and finger-pointing by members of the Government or the previous Administration because they are all on the same policy track.
