Mary Lou McDonald: There are probably few times in life that if one struck a match, the irony would be so intense that there would be a combustion but this is certainly one of them. To hear Deputy Martin talk about hypocritical cant while delivering hypocritical cant is hard to stomach.

Mary Lou McDonald: Fianna Fáil and the former Minister, Deputy Martin, clearly feel the need to purge themselves of the past and that is understandable. At least they now accept they have a past of which they might purge themselves. The fact that since the foundation of the State, Fianna Fáil has been in government for more than 60 years cannot go unmentioned.

Mary Lou McDonald: The Leas-Cheann Comhairle's colleagues need to let me speak.

Mary Lou McDonald: Deputy Martin spoke about the need to change perception that big business can buy influence by financially supporting the election funds of parties or candidates, which is correct, but Fianna Fáil created this monster and not just over the past 14 years when it was in government but as far back as the days of Lemass. Fianna Fáil State board appointees were party people. That was an open...

Mary Lou McDonald: It is an indictment of cronyism and not of teachers and I stand over it.

Mary Lou McDonald: Plum jobs in commercial semi-States were kept for "its own" and it was all about who one knew and not what one knew. The lads in the mohair suits introduced money into the equation and Taca was born and the people of this State are still paying the price.

Mary Lou McDonald: The inflated price of land and corrupting relationship Fianna Fáil fostered with developers started way back in the early days of Taca. This, of course, has been well documented. Taca may have been shut down in the 1970s but lessons had been learned. Dublin's beautiful and historic architecture was torn asunder for a quick buck.

Mary Lou McDonald: Over the years land continued to get more expensive and a small number of developers grew in size and capacity. Huge amounts of EU Structural Funds landed in the coffers for massive road building projects and the like and gradually the golden circle was completed. Colleagues on the Fianna Fáil benches will not simply eradicate more than 60 years of sponsored cronyism with a single Bill no...

Mary Lou McDonald: Perhaps that was because to have introduced this kind of radical change would have been to completely alter the DNA of successive Fianna Fáil leaderships. Government policy was designed to help developers and speculators to make huge profits for which ordinary taxpayers are now paying. A bank without any systemic importance to the State was bailed out because of connections between those...
