Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael)

The Deputy is unable to back up his charge. The position is that the parties in government - the Labour Party and Fine Gael - each produced a programme before the general election, as was their right and that of the Deputy's party when it was in government. After the people had cast their votes, Fine Gael and the Labour Party came together and produced a programme for Government which was endorsed in the House and is being implemented.
