Peadar Tóibín: Much of the frustration that has been generated in Irish society over the past number of years has been caused by the instances where Irish people have been cheated of justice. Elite individuals and organisations who have done wrong have got off scot-free and have not been held to account.

ESB and Disposal of State Assets: Motion (Resumed) (21 Sep 2011)

Peadar Tóibín: I will answer that question. What the Labour Party is effectively doing is forcing the public to go through a rerun of the Fianna Fáil inspired Eircom disaster.

I urge the Minister to re-read the actual document. There is...

I will mention one more issue that might answer...
