Yes, but I am confused. It is like a spinning top. They do not know whether they are on it or when to get off it. This is crazy. I do not know what it is up with them. I know they are sulking because they cannot get to appoint judges but this beats all. It is a pure mystery. What is the point in wasting Dáil time, wasting 30 minutes on the Order of Business, wasting an hour at the Business Committee - 55 minutes to be exact - including the time of the Ceann Comhairle and the staff at an emergency meeting, and then coming back and getting cold feet between the meeting of the Business Committee and here? I do not know what is up with them but I would say that Seán Lemass is turning in his grave. Members talked about him tonight and I salute Seán Lemass and his ideals. Those in Fianna Fáil have lost their way, quite frankly, and I do not know how they are going to get it back. They will have to get a compass, or find their moral compass somewhere.
