Phil Hogan (Carlow-Kilkenny, Fine Gael)

The Deputy's party in Government put us in the current financial mess and ceded our economic sovereignty under the EU-IMF programme. The Deputy's party is responsible for that and we are faced with the responsibility of picking up the mess, including septic tanks, to protect groundwater as a result of the Deputy's party's decisions. Fianna Fáil did nothing since 2009 to deal with this.
