-----the people deserve better from the two Civil War parties. They have ended their Civil War politics all right but only to concoct, as I stated, this coalition of convenience that it appears will put citizens' interests last.

I stress the Labour Party's vote today is not a personal reflection of the Taoiseach, who is an honourable man and hard-working leader. Over the past five years, Deputy Enda Kenny worked day and night with my party to rescue the country from ruin and set it on the road to recovery.
