Paul McAuliffe (Dublin North West, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

-----to tell us what we already know, which is that the Opposition does not support the Government. We have known that, however, for two years. When this country faced its greatest crisis, they ran for the hills and they ran for their rallies. They were nowhere to be seen when this country needed TDs to put the country’s interest ahead of their parties’ interest and when this country needed politicians who were going to be climate-brave. Politics is not about the game. It is about the work and this is just cynical posturing.
