Barry Cowen (Offaly, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

This motion is a new act of hypocrisy on the part of Sinn Féin. Earlier I heard Deputy Pearse Doherty eventually admit that he and Sinn Féin do not want an election and do not want to bring down this Government, yet in tabling this motion they expect Fianna Fáil to break the terms of an agreement and not cause an election. Thankfully, for the country's sake and our sake, Sinn Féin cannot and will not have it both ways.
