Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin (Cavan-Monaghan, Sinn Fein) | Oireachtas source

The members of the coalition Government and all who support it in the Oireachtas should hang their heads in shame at the disgraceful budget introduced yesterday. For members of the Labour Party in particular, yesterday was a day of shame. Where now are the claims of their party to be the protectors of the vulnerable? A leading member of the Labour Party, who was previously a member of both Democratic Left and the Workers Party, once famously had a bonfire of documents in his back garden, as I am sure some of the Deputies opposite will remember.
