John Lahart (Dublin South West, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

I am being heckled. Nobody heckled these speakers when they proposed the motions.

I have seen how the Deputies of the left manipulate vulnerable workers and force their mantra about an idealistic socialist republic. I have been on the protest marches and met these workers too. However, I did not bring Fianna Fáil flags, banners, placards or megaphones and lead the workers off with this tempting vision of a socialist workers' republic. I did not manipulate them.

Speaking on behalf of my colleague, Deputy Paul McAuliffe, as we are restricted in time, I assure the Debenhams workers in Tallaght and other parts of Dublin city that no stone is being left unturned. While some of us are not leading protests, assiduous hard work is being done on the workers' behalf by our Ministers, particularly by my Fianna Fáil colleagues, to ensure their rights are protected and they get what is due to them. No stone will be left unturned in the efforts to make that happen.
