Denis O'Donovan (Fianna Fail)

Can the Leader confirm that the Government parties will play a substantial role and put all their efforts into ensuring that, along with the pronouncement made by Fianna Fáil, this important referendum is passed? I have canvassed on a number of referenda and the then Opposition, consisting of Fine Gael and the Labour Party, had a negative attitude towards us when we were in government. Recently it was confirmed to me by a senior Fine Gael politician that they smirked at us when we canvassed for Lisbon I, II and Nice I and Nice II which was unfair.
