It is a fact that Sinn Féin has associated with political movements and parties across Europe that have inflicted damage on the conditions of workers, their levels of employment and their wages. Every time that any Member on the Government or Opposition benches draws attention to what the reality of Sinn Féin's policies would be if implemented elsewhere in Europe or, as it wants, in Ireland, what we get from Sinn Féin is a constant attempt to barrack that Member. We have just seen it meted out to Deputy Kelly and we have seen it meted out to other speakers. At a time when there appears to be a growing demand and thirst for new politics, surely it should be a basic requisite to listen with at least the appearance of respect to different opinions in Dáil Éireann.
