Mary Lou McDonald (Dublin Central, Sinn Fein)

Fianna Fáil and the former Minister, Deputy Martin, clearly feel the need to purge themselves of the past and that is understandable.

The fact that since the foundation of the State, Fianna Fáil has been in government for more than 60 years cannot go unmentioned.
