Dail Éireann — 2023-10-12
============================================================

Paul Donnelly (SF), Dublin West

I welcome the National Federation of Voluntary Bodies, the workers in the Gallery and those who are looking in. Sometimes I think I live in a parallel universe. I was sitting here listening to Deputies McGuinness and McAuliffe, who have stated, and I am paraphrasing, that it has not caught up on them, they are not surprised that people are taking this action and it is disgraceful - all these lovely words. They also talked about the strong will of the parliamentary party in Fianna Fáil. Did they put forward a motion in the parliamentary party to the effect that they would not support the budget that they supported last night, which did not mention a single word about supporting the workers of section 39----
