Martin Ferris (Kerry North-West Limerick, Sinn Fein)

How can she justify people who do not pay one cent in tax in this country and who have property worth millions of euro and people who are paupers paying €100? How can she justify that to the people of Limerick, Moyross and Southill and people who are struggling to put food on the table and to send their children to school? How can she call herself a Labour Party Minister?

How can the Labour Party sit in Government with Fine Gael? At least we know what Fine Gael is going to do. It will defend the class of people it represents but the Labour Party is supposed to defend working class people.
