Jerry Buttimer (Cork South Central, Fine Gael)

It is extraordinary that we are debating a Private Members motion from Sinn Féin, a party that stands for what? Every week we read their press releases and statements, and hear their pronouncements which show they are against everything and for nothing. While I welcome this debate, I challenge Sinn Féin Members to stand up and tell the people how we will recover from the recession we are in.
