Paul Connaughton (Galway East, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

There have been issues over the last number of weeks and they have been corrected, which is very much to be welcomed. It is now important to move on. I have noticed that no Opposition Member spoke about any of the positive things that have taken place in the last three years, including the introduction of personal insolvency legislation which was ground-breaking and badly needed. If we are honest, the motion is not about Deputy Shatter, Fine Gael or the Labour Party. It is about Fianna Fáil and its concerns about the gentlemen on their left, right and behind them. It is one thing to be behind the curve, but Fianna Fáil is not even on the pitch. I have no problem voting confidence in the Minister.
