Liam Twomey (Fine Gael)

Members on this side of the House do not intend to suffer from Stockholm syndrome. If the Government seeks the help of Opposition Members, they will be reasonable about its proposals. At present however, only smart-alec talk can be heard from the Government side. Its Members have no interest in working for the national interest and are present only for their own interest. If the Government is serious and if the Taoiseach desires a national Government, why does he not meet the party leaders?
