Fergal Browne (Fine Gael)

I regret that the Minister is not in the House while I appreciate the presence of the Minister of State, Deputy McDaid. In the light of the public fracas taking place at present between the former Minister for Public Enterprise and current Leader of the Seanad, Senator O'Rourke, and the current Minister for Transport, Deputy Brennan, it is regrettable he is not in the House. They appear to be attacking each other in the papers. The Leader of the House is calling on the Minister to stop moaning and groaning and to take his finger out and stop blaming her, and he is retaliating. The Leader of the House is saying everything was on target while she was in office and is asking what happened over the last 16 months. She is very clear about who she is blaming and is not mincing her words.
