-----and more. Not only was the National Pensions Reserve Fund emptied but billions of euro were also borrowed, which saddled future generations with debt, to pay bankers. Then Fianna Fáil came into the House and said we need more investment in ports and infrastructure to prepare ourselves for Brexit. If we do, and I agree we do, then Fianna Fáil should state with the same breath that we need a rainy day fund and tax cuts because it not possible to do everything and to be all things to all people. If that is tried, we end up with a broken economy as we got from Fianna Fáil in the past. I will not give it any credit for tabling a motion that is meaningless and is not going to achieve anything. It is getting a couple of minutes to speak about some of these issues but there is no real intent behind it.
