Appointment to the Judiciary Nomination Procedure: Statements
10:05 pm
Mattie McGrath (Tipperary, Independent) | Oireachtas source
The Leas-Cheann Comhairle did and I did not mention any names.
If the caps fits, wear it. All the judges are appointed by certain parties and it is time we cleaned it up to get justice for the ordinary people. We do not want any more of this up the hill and down the hill and "We will" and "We will not". The public is sick and tired of threats by Fianna Fáil to pull down the Government and statements about issues being a resigning matter. The pipe of supply has ruptured and they now want to fix it. It has ruptured so many times now it is like a sieve. It will not break at all because they do not have the courage or conviction to call an election and let the people decide who will be in government. They did not want to be in government the last time. Deputy Martin went to Tipperary and said they did not want to be in government. The truth hurts. Deputy Martin was afraid he would get the votes and my colleagues are present to prove that. He did not want it.
