Jonathan O'Brien (Cork North Central, Sinn Fein)

We have battle groups. Is it any wonder people will be cynical when the three main parties have continued to rip people off, stick their hands into the pockets of ordinary householders and take every last penny to pay bankers and speculators? Is it any wonder they will have no faith in the message being put forward? I am quite confident that if this issue is debated on its merits people will reject it.
