That is the new-----

We can accuse anything in Irish. Is that the new standard?

The Taoiseach has accused the leader of Sinn Féin of "ag insint bréag" and he is ag insint bréag himself by not acknowledging what he did.

He took advantage of the Ceann Comhairle and he is taking advantage of the Irish language by doing that also.

I apologise.

Is that what you are doing?

I am sure the officials can assist the Ceann Comhairle in terms of what was said.

The officials are there to help the Ceann Comhairle and to interpret what was said in Irish.

Tá mé buíoch as ucht a bheith in ann labhairt ar an mBille seo anocht. Tá an Bille seo náireach. Tá sé absolutely náireach gurb é an chéad phíosa reachtaíochta atá tugtha chun tosaigh sa Dáil seo ag Fianna Fáil agus Fine Gael ná chun níos mó Airí Stáit agus níos mó super juniors a bheith againn, níos mó airgid a thaobh dóibh agus gurb iad seo na príomhfhadhbanna a shíleann an Rialtas atá sa tír se…

Hear, hear.

Is mór an onóir agus an phribhléid dom tacaíocht a thabhairt d'ainmniúchán an Teachta Mary Lou McDonald d’oifig an Taoisigh. Bheadh sí i gceannas ar Rialtas do na ghnáthdhaoine, do ghnáthoibrithe agus teaghlaigh ar fud an Stáit seo, agus is í an ceannaire a bhfuil an fhís agus an diongbháilteacht aici le todhchaí níos fearr a sholáthar d’Éireann. Deputy Mary Lou McDonald would make an excellent T…

We will have vulture funds going around snapping up homes for first-time buyers. Negotiations, as we know, were only about who got what jobs and what salaries. Delivering for ordinary people took a back seat.

So, what are we going to have and what are the priorities of this Government? There will be the most junior Ministers in the history of the State, the most super juniors in the history of the State, and they will be the best paid in the history of the State.

Hear, hear.

Hear, hear.

Hear, hear.

Why wait?
