We all heard about the boom getting boomier. We had no cohesion whatsoever in government and had divided factions. The best talent in government was left on the backbenches. Some former Deputies are now in the Seanad. One can contrast that with what has happened in the past 12 months. The Taoiseach and Tánaiste put in place a strong team of Ministers and Ministers of State. We have seen them perform in this House admirably.
