Michael Creed (Cork North West, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I see the same forces in the alternative right in Germany. It is shrill populism with nothing to offer in the context of the problems we face. They are uncomfortable truths but these people should look in the mirror. Almost immediately after taking office, we faced a challenge in Brexit like no other, and which affects the sector for which I am responsible. I have absolute confidence in the Government and that those who are most vocal in their criticism should look in the mirror as they are a mirror image of the things that threaten democracy and to bring down western civilisation. They have some track record in that regard.
