A Member referred to the Fianna Fáil-led Government as being over-ambitious. This is the first time an Opposition has criticised a Government for being ambitious. This is what the Opposition lacks, irrespective of whether it can see it. The reality is that the Government has been ambitious in regard to delivering jobs to the regions, removing the clog in infrastructure from Dublin city and ensuring that people have a quality of life, but it has done this in a way that is mindful of the workers who must be transferred. From my understanding of the contributions of Opposition Members, they will force staff to move to areas to which they do not want to go.
