Micheál Martin (Cork South Central, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

I will put some perspective on what has just been said. For over six months there has been a steady series of claims that the Government's objectively appalling legislative record is somehow the fault of this Dáil. That is what is presented by the Government side and Government and Fine Gael sources have been actively promoting the idea that legislation is being held back because of uncertainty about how it would be dealt with once it got to the Dáil.
