We have emerged from a period when there was a lack of discipline and regulation and when rules were bent, broken, ignored, abandoned, etc. The latter explains, in some part, why we are in the mess in which we find ourselves. Senator Cullinane can shake his head all he likes but what I have said is true. I would have thought that a level of internal discipline to which we can all sign up in equal part makes plain common sense.

I ask people to imagine for a moment representatives of Sinn Féin sitting in the boardrooms of companies such as Microsoft, Hewlett Packard, Abbott Ireland, Facebook, Google, etc.-----
