Liam Fitzgerald (Fianna Fail)

We have spoken about a review of public spending. I find the attitude of Fine Gael extraordinary, a party that promulgated and constantly preached through the years about reviews, the just society and re-evaluation. I have been in the Houses of the Oireachtas more years than I want to admit and each year I was on a committee, no matter what area of public spending the committee dealt with, Opposition colleagues, of whom I could name several, constantly demanded reviews, re-evaluations and cost-benefit analyses. This seems to be thrown out the window this evening by Fine Gael. They are only interested in grabbing one thing. There is a perception that they have an opportunity to exploit divisions among Members on this side of the House.
