The Government is a disgrace and I make no apology for saying this because the electorate is fed up. Its record at home and abroad is one of division between the haves and the have nots, as evidenced by the Minister for Finance's announcement of an event centre in his constituency that cost €15 million when there is poverty in our streets. The Government squandered the riches brought about by economic success and we are left to pick up the pieces. I appeal to the Minister of State to look after the less well-off in society here and abroad.
