Dan Boyle (Green Party)

The tabling of this motion by the Labour Party is indicative of the posturing from which we have seen that party benefitting in recent times. It adds nothing to the debate, achieves nothing in terms of improving standards and represents the type of Shangri-La politics that the Labour Party wants to practise. It wants to be all things to all people. The Labour Party speaks out of both sides of its mouth. It claims to be in favour of animal welfare but its votes in this Chamber indicate otherwise. It claims to be in favour of climate change.
