Terry Leyden (Fianna Fail)

Fianna Fáil's work in Europe is exemplary. We have done more in Europe than the Minister of State will ever do. We have been exemplary in our stands, in putting referenda to the people, consulting the people, being with the people. We have proved to be the best party in government in Europe. Let the Minister of State prove what she can do but she should not disparage Fianna Fáil. I defended her in Independent newspapers in regard to her ministerial responsibilities for Europe but I am disappointed by her regular attacks on Fianna Fáil, which are grossly unfair and beneath contempt.
