Ned O'Keeffe: I can tell Members that Fianna Fáil went wrong when it became the party of the racehorse owner. We have more racecourses in trouble than we have ghost estates.

If Fianna Fáil came back from the sport of kings to where it was founded, we would...

Ned O'Keeffe: I first entered the Dáil the same day as the Ceann Comhairle, and that is a few days ago, now.
