Mary Lou McDonald (Dublin Central, Sinn Fein)

Deputy Rabbitte and his cheerleaders to my right may scoff, but they and we know full well that they have buckled to the troika and to Fine Gael. Shame on the Labour Party for pursuing this. We understood that its job in Government was to stop the worst excesses of the privatisation agenda, but it is clearly not serious about that.
