Before it is said, I know that SIPTU contributes to my party and do not pretend it does so for the benefit of democracy. It does so because it believes a strong Labour Party in power is good for working people. However, other parties, particularly on the Government side, will pretend that when they get large donations from the building industry, it has nothing to do with the perceived interests of the industry and take grave exception when it is suggested otherwise. It is naive on the part of those members of Fianna Fáil who believe it, and profoundly disingenuous on the part of those who know better, when we are told that the decision to essentially fillet the provision for social and low cost housing in the Planning and Development Act was taken for purely benevolent reasons, not because the party was to a degree beholden to the building industry.
