Pearse Doherty (Donegal South West, Sinn Fein) | Oireachtas source

I move amendment No. 24:

In page 121, to delete lines 21 to 46 and in page 122, to delete lines 1 to 20.

This is the Minister of State's moment. He has put up the posters, distributed the leaflets and taken out the advertisements and can now announce that the €1 increase in the price of a bottle of wine is no more. He is sitting in the chair that matters and should not allow Fine Gael to bully him anymore. He can accept the amendment and live up to the commitment the Labour Party gave to the electorate just two years ago. That is the sum total of what I have to say. The Minister of State knows that it was wrong to increase the cost of a bottle of wine by €1. The Labour Party led the campaign on this matter and I ask him to respond appropriately.
