Arthur Spring (Kerry North-West Limerick, Labour)

The people need to hear exactly what Sinn Féin is proposing. If one is talking about stripping away that kind of the money from the economy, people will not take small hits. The country and the people would be decimated. Sinn Féin should sit on the Government benches or it should keep running for cover. When there were cuts to be made in Northern Ireland, the Sinn Féin leader came down here for cover and was elected.
