Eamon Gilmore (Dún Laoghaire, Labour)

We have worked every day to fix these problems. This is not the first time on which Deputy McDonald has accused the Government in the House of breaking promises. She claimed in the House that we broke our promise on restoring the minimum wage; she was wrong about that. She stated we would not renegotiate the deal with the European Union and IMF; she was wrong about that. She stated in the House we would not get the 1% reduction in the interest rate.
