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

Leo Varadkar (FG), Dublin West

It has been a long debate - I have been here for almost all of it - and it has been a good one. In the limited time I have, I wish to make three points. First, the motion of no confidence tabled by Sinn Féin is a deeply cynical and nakedly political one. It is pointless. The Government has a clear working majority and that will be evident from the vote tonight. Those in Sinn Féin, often master tacticians, have made a tactical error here-----
