Confidence in Government: Motion
Dail Éireann — 2022-07-12
============================================================

Paul Murphy (PBP), Dublin South-West

I suggest the Minister of State try speaking to some people who are not Ministers or Government backbenchers. It might help the perspective of the Government if he spoke to some ordinary people. The people I speak to are not terrified of an election — not at all. They would like to see an election and an historic opportunity to kick out Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael to establish, for the first time ever in this country, a Government that is not run by one of the two traditional, capitalist establishment parties on the basis the conservative ideas they represent.
