Measaim go bhfuil sé tráthúil agus ceart go bhfuilimid ag plé an rúin mímhuiníne seo anois díreach roimh an toghchán agus tacaím leis an rún. Níor ardaíodh an cheist seo i dtaobh ábaltacht David Begg an obair a bhí roimhe a chomhlíonadh - measaim gur féidir leis é a chomhlíonadh - ach de bharr an bealach inar roghnaíodh é. Níos mó ná sin, ardaíonn muid é de bharr an bealach a chaith an Tánaiste le cosmhuintir na hÉireann ó tháinig sí i réim i 2011. Creidim gur mór an náire í do thraidisiún lách a lán dóibh siúd a chuaigh roimpi i bPáirtí an Lucht Oibre, iad siúd a sheas an fód do lucht oibre thar na cianta.

Last night, I listened to the Tánaiste’s defence to the charge that she was guilty of the very cronyism about which she and others in her party had railed against Fianna Fáil so often in the past. Tonight, the Labour Party Members may win the support of the jury of peers in here. However, in the eyes of the public, they are guilty as sin on this, as well as other matters which the Tánaiste has tried to deny responsibility for since coming into power as she did again last night. To use a ministerial secret clause to bypass the very selection process-----
