Those workers do not want to be on strike. I was with them yesterday. They had no choice but to take this action. It is time that Fine Gael Members took responsibility and told their colleague, the Minister, Deputy Ross, what needs to be done. The issues of Government policy have to be dealt with. I remind Members of this House that we are talking about workers who have to wait 20 years to earn the princely sum of €624 a week, which is less than half of the salary Senators get from the outset.

Fine Gael should face up to its responsibility for its failures in Government policy. It has spent six years trashing this company financially.
