Michael McDowell (Dublin South East, Progressive Democrats)

From 1992 to 1997, no delivery or provision whatsoever was made in this area. It was a big black hole which the great social reformers failed to consider for one second. Now, Senator Derek McDowell in a de haut en bas tone states that the Government has failed in recent years. He should look in the mirror. Nothing was done when the Opposition had the opportunity. Now, Opposition Members complain about those who are doing something because it is not enough. This is good politics but very bad history.
