I have asked two questions already. The ordinary person has been let down. It is about time the likes of former Taoiseach, Deputy Bertie Ahern, and former Minister for Finance, Charlie McCreevy, as well as the current Taoiseach were held to account for their stewardship of this country. Unemployment is at 13% and we have a massive bill for the banking crisis, yet all we have to show for it is complete emptiness. There is no hope, no vision, no jobs policy and no leadership. The people are emigrating and the Green Party is happy to cosy up to Fianna Fáil in Government. If that is what its members want, then they should stay in power and wreck the country. I plead with them to get out of office and let those of us who have the interests of the people at heart to go in and govern so that there might be fairness and equality.
