The Deputy should tell me what her party has ever actually done for young families. I see around me Deputies from Fianna Fáil, Fine Gael, the Labour Party, Independents, and the Green Party who can all say that they did something practical and useful for young people. When Deputy McDonald says she has made a choice and that she stands with young families, that is totally bogus. Sinn Féin made a choice to opt out of Government. It does not want to be in government here. Its MPs do not want to take their seats at Westminster. It does not want to be in government in Northern Ireland, or at least it appears that way. In local authorities, its councillors take decisions all the time that are not in the interests of the public but are just populist. In fact, Sinn Féin is the only party in this House that has never done anything for children.
