Senator Browne took the opportunity to make a political point in respect of commitments made during the last general election campaign. That election was won on the basis of the good government practised by Fianna Fáil and the Progressive Democrats since 1997. Some people are sore at the fact that the people had the confidence in the Government to re-elect it, which is something we have not seen in this State's recent history. Senator Browne's party had the opportunity to invest in roads and to fulfil its other promises, but it failed. There were other instances when his party made promises but failed to implement them.
