The Minister promised fundamental change but he has failed. However, the Taoiseach came into the House this evening and said one of his greatest achievements was the renegotiation of the consultants' contract. The Minister can take credit for lots of things but he certainly cannot take credit for something which happened in 2008 and was referred to the Labour Relations Commission for adjudication only two weeks ago. For people to come into the House and take credit for something in which they did not have hand, act or part is brass neck of the highest order.
