In 1997, the last time that Fine Gael was in Government, £12 million was provided for home helps. This Government is now providing €120 million per annum. Does that not say everything? How could any Opposition party highlight its own deficiencies in this way? I cannot believe it. Why score an own goal at this point? It has highlighted the fact that it provided £12 million in 1997. Can the Leas-Chathaoirleach help me with a query — was that the last time that the eainbow coalition was in Government?
