Confidence in Government: Motion
Dail Éireann — 2023-03-29
============================================================

James Browne (FF), Wexford

Let us remind the people of why the Labour Party went from 37 Deputies to only seven in one election cycle. It started with then leader throwing out the word "treason" in a heated situation, playing on people's anxieties and fears and manipulating them at that time. I remember canvassing in Wexford town. My canvassers were young women in their 20s and 30s.
