Billy Kelleher (Cork North Central, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

It was as if Fine Gael wanted to rub the Labour Party's nose in it. Fianna Fáil supports this motion of no confidence partly because we do not have confidence in the ability of the Minister, Deputy Reilly, to continue in office. He was supported by the Government in the vote on our motion of no confidence in him. The Labour Party lost a colleague in that vote.
