David Cullinane (Waterford, Sinn Fein) | Oireachtas source

The Ceann Comhairle said he would treat people equally. The Tánaiste made a very partisan speech, as did many people, and she attacked my party and its record and singled out my party, so we should have an opportunity to respond. It is about electing a Taoiseach and a Government at some point, but the parties that failed need to take responsibility for their failures. There is no point in the Tánaiste, the Taoiseach or anybody else blaming Sinn Féin or anybody in the Opposition for their failures. They need, first of all, to be humble and to take responsibility.
