Pearse Doherty (Donegal South West, Sinn Fein)

This is critical, in light of the previous debate on the Nyberg report, which referred to the group think which is happening and the dismissal of consensus as being wrong and ill thought out. The Deputy should listen to and, in particular, pay attention to what is being said. Our motion refers to the potential realisation of assets. If Deputy Lynch reads it, it is in black and white and is mentioned twice in the document. Before he gets up to speak, it is worthwhile to note what the other side has to say in the contributions we have made.

It was not long ago, on 8 February this year, that the Labour Party - I see Deputy Lynch nodding his head because he now realises he has made a mistake in his contribution and his whole argument is flawed.
