Liam Twomey (Wexford, Fine Gael)

It is very easy to play schoolyard politics when those opposite attempt to have a meaningful debate during Private Members' time. However, they are spanceled by an ideology which opposes but offers no solution. All this talk about anti-capitalism and so on from them gets a bit boring after a while. In case any Members opposite do not understand what I mean by being spanceled by ideology, I will explain. To spancel is to tie the two back legs of a cow when one is milking it by hand so she will not kick the bucket.
