Ann Ormonde (Fianna Fail)

I take this opportunity to welcome the Minister of State, Deputy Roche, and congratulate him on his performance and his efforts to steer the "Yes" campaign. It was a marathon effort for him. I am disappointed with Senator Regan and his comments. We are always looking into ourselves and playing the blame game. I could easily stand here and apply blame across the floor of the House, but I will not do that. It is not in my interest to do so. My interest is in working together to see where we can go from here. That is what this debate is all about. It is a pity that Senator Regan stood up and played the blame game as he is forever doing.
