The final revelation, after a week of hot air and smoke, is that Fianna Fáil backbenchers have absolutely no influence. They exist only for the purpose of doing what they are told. They lined up and did just that, despite all the hot air at constituency level, saying the very opposite of what they said last week. If that is the extent of their influence, what is their purpose in being here? I do not care whether they vote with or against us.
