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

Eamon Ryan (GP), Dublin Bay South

Like the Minister for Finance, I listened with real intent to the Leader of the Opposition's speech. What I heard as the key, core, central message was that politics is framed at the moment between the ordinary people and the insiders. That is the very cornerstone of the populist playbook that has been incredibly successful in the world in the past ten years in many different countries. It tends to be quick to anger. It foments dissent and division.
