The people are disappointed and hurt with this duplication this evening. I think of all the things that are wrong. People will be unable to go to the North to get cataracts removed from their eyes. People in pain are not being seen by the HSE and they will be unable to travel to Belfast after 1 January next.

What is going on here is very wrong. Sinn Féin knows very well that Fianna Fáil is going to support Fine Gael tonight. They are joined at the hip and they are the one party now. They only have to change the name. When it came down to it, Sinn Féin voted to reduce our speaking time here. That is why I have only a minute this evening. They would all want to cop on because the people of Ireland will not stand for this for much longer.
