Jerry Buttimer (Fine Gael)

I will, but the Leader is embarrassed. The Bill is an attack on the decent people of Ireland. Schedule 1 reduces the money going into the homes of those who have not contributed to the economic decline of the country, yet the friends of the Leader and Fianna Fáil are masquerading and have the guise of someone who is getting away with it. They have perpetrated a crime on the people and have not been held to account. The Bill holds the ordinary Irish person to account. I am asking the Green Party, in particular and specifically, whether it plans to abandon the principles about which it spoke when it went into government. Senator Boyle was the very guy on the steps of Government Buildings who was nearly in tears when it had not been agreed, yet tonight he and his colleagues will be voting against the people.
