The programme for Government contains 66 headings. After two years, it has failed under most, if not all, of them. For my constituents in Donegal, it has failed on mica, farming, fishing, protecting the vulnerable, transport, broadband, homelessness, public housing, affordable housing, energy and emissions targets. It has failed family carers, mother and baby home survivors, people with disabilities and people with mental health issues. It has failed on Sláintecare and it has failed pensioners. It has failed to end direct provision and it has failed on equality. It is failing the children and women of this State in so many ways. As I have seen in this House over the past fortnight especially, it fails on basic democracy and parliamentary principles consistently. However, the people it does represent are doing very well. It is serving cuckoo funds that crucify renters, developers and billionaires all very well.
