I want the Members opposite to face the people. The people do not care what happens within the bubble of Leinster House and want their say. Does the Leader agree that the events of the past 24 hours reflect an attempt by the Taoiseach and Fianna Fáil to cover the cracks and present a different image? The reality is that the universal service charge, tax increases and cuts in pensions are hurting the people.
