Can we have a debate on the programme for Government so that we might restore cohesion. I recall the former Taoiseach, Mr. Brian Cowen, at a parliamentary party meeting which Members here will remember, when members raised issues of concern on policies which impacted on people, he stated that the time had gone for putting the interests of the party anywhere on the agenda and that the survival of the country was at stake and we must act accordingly, and that is advice I would give them.
