Leo Varadkar (Dublin West, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

Deputy, I think there is no more righteous glow than the moral indignation of isolating yourself and criticising everyone else. That is not the way you influence people. I have been working very hard in the past few months, as has the Tánaiste, in influencing the position of the US, as well as that of the EU, bringing it closer to ours. I think this has happened not because of what we have done, but that we have, however, contributed, in part, at least, to this change. I do not see what the Deputy has done in this regard or his approach having contributed anything at all.
