When the people of Ireland voted-----

Sentiment score: 0.00

-----they sent people to this House to work. What people have seen since is chaos, disruption and behaviour of the worst type. Since Fianna Fáil, Fine Gael, the Regional Independent Group, and the Healy-Raes came together to form a Government, we have heard all these words such as "Lowry's lackeys", "underlings" and "a grubby deal". What is grubby about forming a Government? What is grubby about putting one's shoulder to the wheel and taking responsibility?

What is grubby about getting down to work for people? There is nothing wrong with that.

People think that if they keep repeating this, it will stick. I have news for them; they are wrong. Labour, the Social Democrats and the others, who are now firmly on the Sinn Féin leash, are being led like puppies with their new political master. If that is where they want to be, that is where they will stay. I would like to think that I have the finger on what is happening around the countryside, and last night, people in places such as Cahersiveen and Valentia Island were not impressed with what went on in the Chamber last week.

You can be sure of one thing - they were not saying it was a good day for politics. I have confidence in the Ceann Comhairle. I have confidence in a young girl who left school when she was 15 years of age. I have confidence in a young woman who went to England and worked hard in multiple jobs. I have confidence in a young woman, who, at the age of 21, bought a truck and trailer and took to the road to make a living. I have confidence in a woman who became the first female Ceann Comhairle of the Dáil. I have confidence in her ability to carry out that work in a fair and impartial way. I have confidence in the Clerk of this Dáil and the people who work here, whose work has been questioned live on television. That is wrong. Those people are above all reproach. They are respectable people who are here impartially, and they are doing a good job. What is going to happen after the vote? We have heard the Opposition saying it will not co-operate with pairings and it will do everything it can to be disruptive. What will the people of Ireland think of that when our Minister for agriculture, for instance, is going to have to work hard renegotiating a new Common Agriculture Policy, CAP, deal? What will happen when the Minister for Foreign Affairs has to leave the country? Will the people of Ireland thank the Opposition if it will not pair and will not roll up its sleeves and do the job it is supposed to do, which is to work on behalf of the people of Ireland?

All that the people watching this today want to see is the rubbish to stop and to see people continue their work.
