Eugene Regan (Fine Gael)

I find it the height of political hypocrisy that Senators opposite can wring their hands, make speeches and disavow the policies pursued by Governments over the past 11 years despite having supported them at every turn. We have seen examples over the past year of Members protesting on the streets and voting otherwise in the House. This hypocrisy should be exposed.

Last week a view was expressed in the House that Fianna Fáil is the natural party of Government.
