Leo Varadkar (Dublin West, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

We lost our slot this morning because the Sinn Féin spokesperson demanded that I would be in two places at once and now the Sinn Féin benches are empty. Its members could not bother to be here, nor could Fianna Fáil. I have listened to them talk about the Government not respecting the Parliament, and parliamentary and political reform. It really churns my stomach to see the hypocrisy of Sinn Féin and Fianna Fáil in leaving their benches empty during this important debate.
