David Cullinane (Sinn Fein)

Across the board on the big issues of unemployment, emigration, and what is happening in the banks and the public services with money taken from health, education and local authorities, the Government has not delivered. I am not judging it on what I want it to do but on what its parties promised to do in their pre-election manifestos. They have failed and we are getting more of the same from the Government. I propose an amendment to the Order of Business, that a senior Minister attend the House today so that we can discuss what the Government has done and failed to do in the past 12 months.
