Mary Lou McDonald (Dublin Central, Sinn Fein)

The Taoiseach continually refuses to deal with the issue of burden-sharing, an issue which he was very keen on during the election campaign.

At the same time, the Government was running around looking for €100 million in respect of the fair deal scheme to give some comfort to the elderly.
