Willie O'Dea (Limerick City, Fianna Fail)

Do two wrongs make a right? That is what the Deputy appears to be arguing. The Government does not have a case. It is standing naked before the people it promised to assist. I can show Government Deputies my constituency files which note people's remarks to me during the general election campaign that they would not vote for me but would vote for Fine Gael or the Labour Party because those parties would help them with their mortgages. The voters have been sadly disappointed.
